also how much am i looking to spend on honing my block?

honda
are you saying go to honda for a rebuild kit? if so, i went there before looking for some random bolts i needed and they sent me away to the acura dealership b/c hondas dont come with GSRs...and acura doesnt sell the whole kit. they sell the top gaskets as 1 set and the bottom 1s as another set..
im just wanting to see if any1 knows of any place whee they sell the whole kit as 1.

i bought a kit on ebay one time that came with acl bearings and nippon piston rings, kit worked great, motor ran great and it didnt leak or anything, but like everyone else say either honda or a good reputable brand.

i bought all my stuff from eristic gaskets on ebay.....
the gasket kits are very good.... especially for 40 bux.
acl bearings are nice too
i bought ebay water pump and oil pump...
pretty much all ebay parts and i saved a bundle..... good quality if you ask me

Internal Engine Parts in Austell sells rebuild kits. I believe topline is the brand?!?!? I put one in my prelude a couple years ago and the build was solid. The only thing I didn't get from them was the bearings I went with ACL bearings from KTeller.
Just a suggestion if you looking for somewhere local.
