oh well going to the dealer after school for a ring hopefully that will be it and i can get my engine together sorry for the post but i had to vent....

 

good stuff, is this your first rebuild? i've never done one before and wondering how hard is it? i have to do a rebuild on my crx pretty soon, or maybe a swap( but carbureted doesn't make it easy), so how long did it take you?

 

ha ha. that sucks and i know it from personal experience. i had my freshly bored B18C1, new eagle rods, blingin JE Pistons and rings, and my friend came into town to help me finish putting it back together. so there i am, got my pistons and rods together, block on engine stand, putting on the rings, and SNAP!!!! damn #2 rings. 3 days later, my new JE rings came in, and i was EXTREMELY careful. but it gave me another chance to gap them perfectly, so it was OK i guess. but i got to do it alone. oh well, put it together and bolted up the turbo kit. she ran like a scalded dog for a couple months until i slammed her into a concrete wall. life can suck a fattie. 6 grand that insurance wouldn't pay for down the drain

 

damn dude that sux to hear....yea this is my first rebuild not done yet...its not all that hard ill let you all know how it runs later when i get it going
