Block prep for reliability up to 8.5k rpm

itr or b16a pistons oversized
arp rod bolts for stock rods
have rods resized
new bearings and seals
block needs to be tapped for the knock sensor or you will need an ecu program that deletes it like the Mugen program.
I wouldn't polish the crank if it is in good condition. Honda and most other cranks are carburized which is a process of diffusing carbon into the steel to make the outer surface much harder. Depending on how much it is polished the layer of carburized steel might be removed and you'll be wearing out bearings faster. I don't nor do I know of anyone who knows how thick this layer is but I'd assume it to be thousands of an inch. If the crank is not visibly scarred and when you run your fingernail over it you don't feel anything just use the crank how it is. If it is scarred it would be a better idea to just find a good crank.
This is how I setup my bottom end and it has ran fine with no problems in over two years of hard driving.

Good luck, BTW how is your car running anyway?
