I'm finishing building my ls block finally. It has been hot tanked, jackknifed/balanced crank, new bearings, total seal rings, new gsr water pump, type r oil pump, darton sleeves, block guard, JE 12:5:1 pistons, eagle rods. I have arp head studs for it also. The only thing is i'm running out of $$ since this costed so much. I was wondering what you guys think i should do. I have a pr3 vtec head all stock. Should i just put it on and put it in my crx..or should i wait and add to it before such as upgrade the cams,springs,retainers? I want to get it in the car, but at the same time i don't want to do half the project then finish it later. I'm running a b16a cable s1 tranny with it. I was also thinking about putting a lighter flywheel on right away as well. What do you thing about that? If anyone has any suggestions on what i should do let me know.

 

Just wait and finish the project....Good things come to those that wait"

 

yea i guess i can wait. It's just i've been having this block getting built for a while now and i want to hit the streets! But i guess i wouldn't put out that much hp since i have a stock head.

 

youre going to have to break in the block anyways so why not just slap it on start racking in the miles so that u can actually take advantage of your fuilt head?

 

would u be interested in sellin the vtec head?

I also say finish it, Tune it.. be done. It will be a lot less troublesome replacing the valvesprings and retainers with the head off, hopefully you're gonna run some wild cams in there. I've got a Toda flywheel on my LSVTEC, and I love it.. boy does she rev fast.

 

Good luck

 

if you add a new flywheel do it before you balance the rotating asembly.

hopefully its not all together yet.

but it sounds like you have the right idea, you even said yourself you dont want to put it in there half done. so dont.
