Nice looking block. I am building a similar lsvtec but with .25 over PCT's. My questions are what is in store for the rest of the engine? What car is it going in?Was your rotating assembly fully balanced? More info please!......

The rest of the Engine entails NEW 2001 ITR Cams... (Unfortunately TODA Spec As are on back order for 4 weeks), NEW TODA Dual Valvesprings, and Possibly Manley Valves (Haven't decided on valves yet).
The motor is going into my Girlfriend's Mugenized EK-9.
The rotating assembly is fine the way it is, actually I micropolished the journals myself, I just used Blue Magic Chrome and Magnesium Polishing Creme and scrubbed the hell out of each individual journal for about FOUR hours.
Yes, the rods were resized to Factory spec. Reason for that being, I have ARP rod bolts put in and they have a tighter torque spec than factory bolts, so it almost makes the big end egg shaped more than perfectly round.
The Block is a 1995 B18B, and the Head is a 1999 B16A2

"bling bling mount and girdle, too bad u dont need them"
Keep saying that when Your crank falls apart at 7,900 rpm, while I'm spinning safely all day long at 9,000.
Better safe than sorry I always say.

Better safe than sorry, Call me ****.
Well, I got 3 pistons in (The damn Guy at Acura ordered 1 wrong bearing, but it'll be here tomorrow).
So far it's coming out quite nice.
I'll post pics up tomorrow night with everything done.
