wad up..i bought a b18a1 w/lightened flywheel and ACT 6-puck clutch for my 88 dx...i also got a b17 gsr head w/type cams and type r cam gears.....wat are the steps i need to do to install and make everything work with no leaks...how hard is it...has anyone done this???thankss

 

to make it ls/v?...here is the basic, buy ls/v conversion kit(golden eagle) it come with everything, buy gsr arp head studs, gsr water and oil pump, gsr timing belt, put it all together, tap into head for vtec oil line. a cuple things I PERSONALLY THINK help the ls/v reliability, block girdle, hasting piston rings, arp rod bolts and a good tune.

 

can i keep my orig. pistons and rings?

 

This isn't a very new engine so since you are in there you will want to hone the cylinders.
You can measure everything up and see if the stock pistons will work for you, but you should go for new rings while it's torn apart.
