You need a pair of these. They're going in my car. I'll let you guess the duration and lift.

ITRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...actually, you are only partially correct, Warren...there is much more missing...which explains why you see Chad in pic 1 using a grindeRRRRRRR....long story short...valves cut in too deep...so we have to modify rocker aRRRRRRms.

And, yes, let's not use the word BREAK...
Hopefully, she breaths tonight...

Very good, Chad.

We assembled my replacement engine Saturday, and instaled it.

Didn't get it to start until Tuesday night (replaced the starter). I was quite relieved when it fired, on the first crank.

BTW, this is what the previous engine looked like after Summit

There were also 2 smaller holes in the block on the othter side... Con rod in *many* pieces, and very little left of the #4 piston...

I woke up this morning at Corey;s house at 5:45 and where was he? Outside underneath the Accord putting the new exhaust and header on.

Thanks Corey and Dave @ SMSP, they worked at all night to get my $100 header and exhaust almost perfect

Morgan - who now drives an Accord with 10-15 extra HP hopefully

It seems the ante has been upped in H1 for the second season. Is this motor an upgrade to what was in there before?

Well, in my book, pistons equate to donating a kidney, so....
thank you, Marc, for your overbores!
Also, a HUGE thanks to Scott, Bob and the crew at King Motorsports. We'll put that ZEX kit to good use!!!!
