What are you missing in order to finish your build, Matt and how much longer do you think it will be before it is fully done?
 
Haha, alright alright. I'm going out to work on it now.

Oh and BTW, I picked up another B18b block last night :D more on that later
 
Opened up that B18b last night. It was used in an LSVTEC build, so it had a VTEC pump on it, meaning it had the CKF on it, I think thats what it is at least :p But anyway, it looks great. Minimal bearing wear. I picked the complete bottom up for $100. I think I scored.

Anyway, yeah I think I'm going to clean the bottom/head up today and then go ahead and finish my wiring tuck as I planned, since the car was running flawless before, I'm confident all the sensors and shit are right..

Haha, who said anything about VTEC? :ph34r:

Better yet, who said anything about your car? :huh: lol

Haha no but there will be updates on said spare motor here pretty soon, and prolly another build thread :ph34r:
 
Nope, I have confidence in the motor in the car.

I'm building a motor for another car, something of the DD sorts.
 
I'm curious to see what your plans are. You don't even have another shell do you?
 
Yes you will definetly need those dowels. The ARP headstuds will keep the head down snugly on the block, but it is the job of the dowels to keep the head from moving ever so slightly from side to side.Without the dowels the head can shift slightly and your head gasket will leak. Pull the head and install the dowels with a new headgasket and you should be ok.
