Good idea ask for the specs of a motor you make yourself, the fact it can be one of 3 heads *not counting diff gens and changes in them* it can have all sorts of rods pistons etc.

I say don't worry about it, it won't happen.

Well, I LOVE my B16. It feels great. If I hit the track this weekend, I will post my times. I'm not expecting much, though, cuz of traction issues.

i know there is like a 5 post min. before a noob can post in the for sale threads.....
but i was wondering if there could be a 6 month waiting period, or mandatory FAQ read through with a follow up test, before noobs are allowed to post anywhere?

can we vote on it?

If you had to pass an exam about the FAQ before you could be a Honda-Tech member, the internet would explode.

Good stuff. Without even bringing the revs up high, I pop the clutch, and I'm spinning. Oh, and I can bark into 3rd as well.
