that sounds like a really solid motor ^^ i plan on using good quality parts and i know some people that are definately capable of putting it all together for me! i just cant get an unbiased opinion about b16 or ls/vtec from the guy who will be putting it together! lol. thanks for the help!

if you dont mind me asking how much was the assembling and balancing etc of your motor? also where is a good place to get my block bored over and cleaned up real good?
