Also, i've been told that i should just use the stock rod/main bearings from Honda. I will also be using a block gaurd. The motor will not be bored, only honed and hot tanked. I afraid if I make the cylinder walls any thinner i would have to have it re-sleeved, which im trying to avoid. Well enough rambling, would this setup be on the safe side, im looking to overbuild this motor for what hp i am wanting to run.
