Default Lots of Ls/vtec ?'s Pics INSIDE!? 56k bye bye

just bought a ls/vtec motor setup is as follows

HAS 5K MILES
BRAND NEW REBUILT ENGINE
TYPE R P73 PISTON AND LS ROD
BLANCE CRANK
NEW ROD AND MAIN BEARING
NEW RINGS
JDM B16 HEAD
TYPE R VALVE TRAINS
TYPE R CAMS
im in the process of polishing my valve cover not even 10% DONE
lol




and here are my questions
Should i replace the crank pulley? It has been chipped off and I was wondering if its okay or should I replace while its out already?

Should I replace injectors looks like the plastic nipples have been broken?

Last, I bought this 6 puck ATC clutch from one of my friends and I noticed it looks very worn my friend said it still has liife left in it still (friction pad or w.e its called) left but doesnt look like it to me check it out and tell me what I should do?

replace the crank pulley. the pulley itself is also supposed to be balanced. So since yours is chipped, the pulley is most likely off balanced

Replace the crank pulley, replace the clutch disc along with the pressure plate, resurface or get a new flywheel.

depends on what clutch+flywheel you are using.

If you are planning on using stock clutch and flywheel, just get oem pulley
If you are planning on using aftermarket lighter clutch and flywheel, get lighter pulley either aftermarket or CTR N1 pulley.

The reason behind this is to balance out the weight differences on each end of the crank. Thus, you can minimize the vibration of the engine and have smoother piston movements

i always use a new clutch and pressure plate. you dont want to have to do a clutch swap after 10k because you used a used clutch. and when replacing the clutch disk you should always use a new pressure plate and resurface the flywheel

Re-using a clutch is always a gamble.

Kinda seems your "friend" was trying to get as much loot out of you as possible for what he had lying around. Sucks.

get ctr pulley for sure.

As stated never use a used clutch or P-Plate. Resurface your flywheel before you put the new clutch on.

Replace the pressure plate too, unless it's brand new.
