2000 SI b16 into 99 ex

[josh_crewdson@y]

Well I got my B16 yesterday, unpacked it last night and noticed some scarring around the Cylinder walls, nothing major, I was expecting this since the seller told me it had a couple of burnt pistons... looks like it just needs a mild hone though, pistons, and I'm going to replace all the rod and main bearings just to be sure. The crank, and head look great! only paid $255 too. I have a couple questions though.. How do you remove the f*ckin wrist pin from the piston & rod? and if i have to hone out a couple of gouges in the walls will i have to go oversized? (they arent very deep att all..) Also what would i use to compress those recessed valve springs? on my y8 it was reallly easy because they were right there above the valve cover deck, but these are almost 2in below the surface... ?????!!!!!

Thanks for any help...

also any tips for the swap are greatly appreciated!..
