Yea u CAN do it that way, but that's not how I do things, IU would much rather take the block out of the car, and mic new Main and Rod bearings and file fit new piston rings while I am at it. That's the only way to do it RIGHT, and that's the only way I do things. Maybe I'm crazy lol.
Not calling anyone a liar, just sayin how I would do it myself.
And YES I would put a VTEC Oil pump on there to, get a lil more pressure, Prolly Chamfer out the oil outlet so i will get a lil more flow from it to, and throw an Endyn Oil pump gear in there too, so less oil gets past the gear and I get more positive pressure...
Again, that's just me
