thats it..... thats all you need. im on my second one. 1st didnt work out well because im retarded and tried to save some cash and used old bearings when putting it back together. tried to save some money. lol didnt work. now im going forged and using new bearings. imo ls/vtec is a good alternative. most people cant shell out the money right away for a gsr or type r. yes either choice would be more relyable but if you have the time to build your ls/vtec you will be happy. key notes, reinforce bottom end using atleast arp rod bolts if your not going forged. i would also get the rotating assy balanced. it will be the best $150.00 investment you can buy when building this motor. other than that, you might want to think about using vtec pistons. thats my 2 cents.
