After a short trip today I was able to score a free K20 bottom end from my local acura dealership . It spun a rod bearing so I got some work to do. I also picked up to top ends witch I think are from a K20. I am in the process of trying to identify them. If any one can tell me what to look for on the heads I would apreciate it.

Here's a flick of my stash


My homie PePe helped me clean everything up

 

cool frog.

A friend of mine noticed that they were throwing out a bunch of engines. So I borrowed my dads truck and scooped up the best one out of the pile. It needs alot of work. But, it'll be fun to build something from the ground up. It's a type S. So it's got some potential.

 

Very Nice. PePe look's like a good friend.

 

Definitely a nice pickup

now get to work !

 

more pics of the cool looking frog

honda dealerships always toss motors...a friend of mine works at a dealership close by and they monitor the motors and before the put them out back they damage the sleeves so the engines cannot be reused

That frog is dope, and that is a pretty good deal as well

 

Always nice to get something for nothing. Well, I guess nothing doesn't really apply here, a lot of work ahead, but well worth it.

but they didnt say that did they? they said they damaged the sleeves, never how. all that ran through my feeble mind was taking a screw driver and scratching the **** out of the sleeve, maybe blowing a b series sleeve, so we were alright there. but fuggit. its still good scrap metal.

 

damn thats just a waste of a block if they damage them before they toss them . **** if they were SMART , the blocks that were good , sell them with papers for 200 bucks . id ****** pay that in a second.

 

damn i'm gonna start makin rounds at my local acura to see if their throwing any blocks away

 

lol im heading over tomorrow! -.- where do i check
