Get yourself a helms.

pay me

 

get a torque wrench, all your new o.e.m. honda parts, some assembly lube (don't be shy using this stuff), plastigage, and patience, because you don't want to just slap an engine together good luck with the build

 

ya for the FAQ, u might want to look into the intertune tv dvd i think they show how to build a motor and then a helms which well be ur friend. for the dvd i seen it posted somewhere in the all motor section, so scroll thru the post.

so does a helms manual actually give you all the information on how to properly build an engine? like torque specs and tools needed?

i rather build my own engine than pay somebody else to do it for me. as long as i have all the proper tools for the build and instructions, im sure it should be easy enough.


so that intertune dvd will actually show the entire engine build in the 6 hours??? that would be really helpful.

 

thats how i think the movie goes shows u how to rebuild the motor tranny and some other little tricks and tips and what not, and the helms has all the facotry specs tolerances, and tq's.

 

so what special tools will i need to properly build an engine other than off the shelf tools from sears? hehe


has anybody here who isnt a honda mechanic built their own engine??? how did it go?

 

if ur all serious about going about buildign ur engine. reading can only go so far get out there and start exploring maybe find a good import shop in ur area and start talking to the mechanic. he would be able to tell you the most specifics. and it would give u sumwhere to go if u had a question during ur build.
