Default Just Got My Swap!!

This is my first post here....

I just got my JDM B18C from hmotorsonline and its awesome. After some problems with my credit card, I finally got it. Really nice and clean.

It will be going in my 97 Civic EX...the motor is almost out of that and hopefully I will be putting the new motor in this week! I will keep you guys posted.

Heres to Steve

Yea...with the help from my uncle and my friends!

So far its gone pretty smooth....just need to take the axles off, and disconnect a few other parts and it should come right out.

No its not in yet. Hopefully this week I'll be able to work on it some. It looks really clean. All the sensors look good to me, but looks can be deceiving!

I'll post some pics of the progress!

Thanks guys! I can't wait til it's in!

I have a quick question. How should I go about patching up the couple of spots that are chipped on the valve cover? Would it look bad to just sand the spots around the chipped area and paint it black?
