Well I have LC JE pistons (9:1) and I need a block that can use them.
I was quoted $60 to do all four cylinders... So I may just rip the block out tonight, drop it off with them tomorrow and I'll have it back by thursday ready to go, and hot tanked for another 50...
as far as rods... The one's I want are 677 bucks. So Im gonna hold off on those until I break one of mine.
Just got the head back today. It looks nice. I'll put picks up tomorrow on my website for all to see.
Still need to set the valves, which shouldn't be a problem.
When I get the money for the next rebuild, Im buying the stroker kit (brings to a 2.0L) and balancing the whole motor.
That should take care of reliability problems, and we'll see how a boosted 2.0L SOHC VTEC motor runs.
Should be interesting. =P
