I wouldn't order nothing off ebay.. unless it's 100% legit OEM Acura parts.

There are good deals at these sites:

I've gotten really good deals on ebay. Brand new BC3 cams for $300. New Spoon ITR pistons for $125. New Skunk2 Pro series cam gears for $125, the list goes go. I've also used NPR rings and ACL bearings from ebay and have over 30k miles on one build and 15k miles on the other, with great compression test results to this day

No i cut a little slack.. nothing wrong with aftermarket parts..I run autozone lifetime axles, belts, brake pads, rotors, etc..

But when your talking for a engine rebuild kit.. I would never suggest to cheap out and go to the part store and get the cheapest engine rebuild kit..

anymore it seems like it's hit or miss with parts stores.

sound advice above ^^^ another place to consider would be "sons acura" in GA. PM user "len" and they will hook you up. just did a rebuild using almost all OEM parts. your local dealer may be able to price match (most likely not, what ) if you think you're going to run the car for a long time, i'd stick with OEM. otherwise, you could use an ebay kit
