alright guys, i've decide to build my motor peice by peice, so far all i have is the block, (ge sleeved 85mm b18c1) and a head, (gsr head, pnp, jun3 cams, jun retainers, jun valves, and jun cam gears) with a tranny, rods, and pistons on the way. i know there's plenty of things i'm missing.
just wanted to know if there's a checklist out there with all the necessary oem parts (seals, oil pan, etc) needed for the build up -- maybe even a scan from the helms would be sufficent. thanks

 

http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org has good diagrams but the parts can be expensive from dealers so get used stuff online here if at all possible

A bit off topic, but things will get expensive, quickly. Take whatever number you expect to spend and double it. That's probably what you'll end up spending. Same thing happened to me...

"Well, it's only another few hundred dollars..."

I caught myself saying that so many times, lol.

 

My build was sposed to be around 2500.00 By the time I got to drive the car it was 6,000.00....

 

isn't there some parts i CAN reuse? like a used crank, oil pan etc etc, but then there's parts that shouldn't be used too, am i right?

at anyrate, i'm going to spend about 4300CDN on the block and head alone, and planning on spending another 3 for the misc parts -- it's already getting expensive quick.
