It probably would have been a good idea to clean up all the oil and coolant spilled everywhere if you want an honest opinion of how it looks. Nothing looks out the ordinary, though.

You're stupid. Stop posting.

post some pics after you clean it up hard to tell if the score marks on the cylinder wall are still visible i that that the odd combustion chamber was just firing a little different from the rest a little too lean or too rich but again doesnt look bad.

lol if you're going to do ls-vtec at least build it right and take block to machine shop have it decked along with the head and put new rod bearings, balanced the crank/pistons. I mean it will cost $, but thats my way of building a motor.
