I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

PS. If anyone who has expierence with rebuilding Honda motors has insight, or helpful tips, I'd more then like to hear them.
label all the bolts/ or put them into seperate bags, to ease the installation(what i didnt do and it sucks hunting for bolts). also take your time during the ressembly part, double check all the bolts, etc... and replace eveything like water pump, oil pump(or feeler guage it), main bearing, rod bearings, rings, gaskets and seals(like the rear main seal) etc...and lots of assembly lube..

The Saga Continues!
Yes Im still working on this POS. Still waiting for rods and the crank to come back. The crank was damaged like I thought it would be, and one of the rods were damaged as well.
Im debating looking for a new crank, or just putting in oversized bearings on the one journal and see how long before it grenades again!
Anyhow I got the head off this morning, and HOLY SHIT! It's still in good condition. No damage cept some skuff marks on the valves, no visible warpage at all.
The piston however in cyl 1 was sitting sideways in the cyl wall. Hahaha!!!
Good stuff. My guess is I detonated a little too much with a lot of stress on that rod, she just gave through.
Thanks to Vapor, and Secret Services for the baseline tune that allowed me to run 15psi daily with out dyno time. I think Im going to get another motor, and do it all over again.
pics to follow as soon as I find my SIM card.

Now we show you the small but odd hole in the oil pan, this is from the front of the motor, the hole in the back which I could not get a pic of, is much bigger.
Finally I show you the back of the block from the top side of the motor, it's hard to make out.. but you can see chunks of the block simply lying there on the back of the engine....
Ouch....
