He's asking for pain and trouble. The car will be 15 years old before he finishes. Cam? Yeah, there are a number of good mani's, pick one. Pistons? Wait until you have a running engine hooked up to the rest of the car. In fact, wait on any changes to the engine. It's an engineering rule (which came from THE SCIENTIFIC RULE). Only change one thing at a time. -- - dillon I am not invalid "Always shoot first. At the very least you'll distract the guy enough to make the second one count" -- Lazurus Long |

You'll find more info concerning engine swaps/modifications there than you will here. http://www.honda-tech.com/zeromain Dave |
