as for the info on here, as you know, i dont have any experience with LS/VTEC, but i have built plentiful motors, and the info i found about the pistons seems pretty legit to me.

if you would like me to post up some of the links i found, i would be happy to, so you can check em out yourself.
It would be great if i could see those links.

I can do it for about $100 for labor, I can find a 5th gear(main and counter) for a nominal amount. That is if you bring me your tranny.
