Ok so had a spending spree earlier this month. Didn't have time or wi-fi to upload pictures.
One of the issues with building your own block is that you NEED good quality tools, buying this kind of precision just to use them rarely is a kick in the teeth but needs must, I'd only be putting this money in someone else's hands anyway. So learn a skill, build a block and have some tools for the money instead of just having a built block. Perhaps if I'm good enough and feel confident, I can build others blocks in the future?
Started off buying these two micrometers from rich777, cheers bud.
Then came the really expensive bit.
Forged parts from America.
Here's a summary shot of what I ordered.
Plenty of names in that picture, wanted good quality parts with a name I could trust.
Wiseco pistons - 9.96-1 compression 81.5mm
Nice and shiney! Shame they'll be hidden really lol came with rings and guide on ring gap etc
Manley rods, after a discussion on rybeans build thread about these I decided I was going with them over eagles.
All weight matched to within a gram(half a gram actually) with arp2000 bolts as standard. Good feel to them aswell.
ID725 injectors, brought these to replace my Rc injectors, yet to find someone with experience that actually recomends the RC, everyone I've spoken too aren't too keen on their quality. These are on the other end of the quality table.
Came with injector clips and a real good quality feel to them! Alittle big for my power goals but rather bigger than smaller and these are the smallest they do lol
Hondata 4 bar map sensor, so I can turn the boost up alittle bit when I want some fun!
Cometic head gasket, did think these where quality as I've seen plenty of builds use them before. But seem they may be abit hit an miss, time will tell.
Looks decent enough.
OEM cam belt
If it's not broken don't fix it right?
Street pro bottom end gasket set, pretty cheap and likely not great but if it seals then it seals. Real-street seem to rate them enough.
