Default things i should have added when i did my rebuild????

should i have added a block girdle and upgraded to a vtec oil pump? anything else besides basic bottom end and top end upgrades? because i am planning on running that thing to about 9000 rpm

Moroso oil pan, oil pressure gauge while you're there

forget the vtec oil pump, you should have gotten the z10 or prodrive units

Moroso oil pan when you start making big power @ WOT a lot of the oil actually gets stuck in the head and theres a good chance for oil starvation. That extra quart helps out.

if its together or not... get a pro-drive oil gear!!!!! i couldnt stress this enough... as i have seen motors run good and then all of a sudden the oil gear shatters... basically ruining the entire motor! even if ur motor is together... i would take it out and change the gear
