any advice?

 

that's a nice setup but i would not run the ACL bearing because they are known to wear fairly quickly from shop experience, i would run factory Honda bearings so it lasts alot longer

Can you elaborate on this because there are many users of ACLs on this board who have not had this experience.

I hope you have your flame suit ready

 

anyways, back to topic... how does the setup sound? I'm trying to order a cometic head gasket, should i get the b18a1(which is my block) or b18a which stated as hybird for vtec head. Thanks

 

A2 cams as in stock b16a2 cams?
Everything else looks pretty solid to me...

 

200 WHP depending on gasket. What did JG say about what gasket to use?
