Ive already purchased rods for my b18a.. And now i have an oppertunity to purchase a Type R block with a spun rod and low miles...

should I even bother, and use my LS crank and Rods in that block...
the guy wants 300 canadian for the block

its for a LS/VTEC setup.. and I plan on buying new pistons also.. but I havent yet

 

well youd have to have the bearings sized properly due to the spun bearing....but the save in oil plumbing to the head & also the benefit of oil squirters will also aid in being boosted...plus 300 canadian is pretty cheap...plus about 200 in machine work & you have yourself a decent block for cheap money...

 

I'd get the itr block and use the ls crank and rods..sell the ls bare block to make some money bak for machine shop work on the itr block and ur good to go..

what kind of work would have to be done

 

Yes put the LS crank and rods in the ITR block then now you don't need to run extra line for VTEC head and such. I have GSR block with LS crank and rods in it

I thought that when you put an LS crank/rods in a B18C you loose the oil squirters cause the crank or rods would hit them. That's just something I read on here, but does anyone know if this is true?

With forged pistons you can get rid of the oil squirters, they are not needed! Get some of these to plug the holes for them https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1081578

i read that too...the weights on the crank hit...almost positive....

Are there oil squirter clearance issues with the LS crank/rods in a B18C though?

yea its actually the piston that hits.... the gsr crank is 87.2mm stroke the Ls is 89mm however the LS has 1mm shorter rods ...so the ls crank will pull the piston down 1mm more on each cylinder and smack the oil squirters....some people bend them out of the way but they should jsut be removed.....

Ls rods have the pin hole that sprays oil instead of having squirters.....The ls rod bearings are also different ...they are wider then gsr rod bearings...main bearings will be the same and you will have the girdle for additional high rpm support that hte b16 and LS blocks dont have

 

Yup, that's exactly what I rememeber reading about them, you either bend them out of the way or just remove them.

thanks for the info
