Default Who here blew up a LS/VTEC motor with stock B18A/B bottomend?

I want to know from first hand experience who blew up there motor from not upgrading the bottomend. ie: no oil sqwirters, no arp rod bolts, no typeR or GSR oil pumps, just a stock B18A/B block)

I am sure there are alot of people...........
I just find it easier to spend the few extra dollars and get arp rod bolts and arp head bolts and a GSR girdle and VTEC water and oil pumps..........

I haven't blown up my LS/VTEC Crx yet. My bottom end is built, however some of my customers have stock b18a1's, and b18b1's and they haven't had any problems yet. It's always a good idea to build the block. It's just so much better.

My friend has a b18a1 with a b16a head. Only thing on it is ARP headbolts. Lets see how that progresses....
