8900 isn't all that. Do you really think Honda engineers would have fitted VTEC blocks with oil squirters if they weren't "all that"? I would bet they know more about them than either you or I. I would consider building an B18B with a LS crank if my B18C1 engine didn't already make more torque than most LsVTECs. I have been thinking of building a B20VTEC, but I haven't finished my current engine yet and I would rather K-swap the car instead.
