tell that shop to bang their ass...that is crazyjust called a shop to do the rebuild they said about 2 grand. thats them getting all the parts , nothing performance and using the old rods and pistons.
what do yall think?
1-1.5k - up compression w/ b16 pistons, rebuild bottom end, rebuild head, port/polish
2-2.5k - see above + cams and valve train
3-3.5k - now, you can go a bunch of different ways... h22 swap, b18c swap, small turbo on the stock motor... but you say its shot, so again, im going to bump this up a $$ level.
4-5k - small turbo, rebuilt bottom end, rods/pistons, vafc hack
if you're looking to spend more than 5... i'll go on. let me know
Why are there generic alternatives to anything?
Before assuming there's a problem with your engine, do a compression and/or leak down test.
Yes, that's an all-motor build that won't see anywhere close to 200whp and won't like having a turbo put on it.
your missing the point,you can only build for turbo or all motor,that setup will be good for my budget. at least this way i will get what i want, fresh engine and more power. and when i get the money to do a turbo setup ill build the block as-such.
i didnt think king bearings were generic. i thought that was a good brand name
Would the term "off brand" make more sense to you? They make them in all Green because that's the middle size and should get most "within" clearances. Like I said, if that's really how you want to build your engine that's all on you. Me, myself, I choose exact clearances and spend the extra money to get them.
Why build your engine twice? Just make up your mind and go with it. You don't need the power right now, you just want it.
You have to read your block and crank, then compare that to the chart in your repair manual, to find out what bearings Honda put in your engine. If you're going for custom clearances, you throw that out the window and Platigage with a brand new bearing...Green, the middle size, is usually the best choice there. They go in order of size with A being the most thick and providing the smallest clearance, it matches up to either Black or Blue...I don't remember which one right off hand.
