thanks for the replies everyone.
I have started to work on my b18b block. whole head and block apart. these are some steps that i am doing/going/planning to do; any comments/advice are welcome
1) purchase p30 pistons (deciding if going .25 or .50 over) or just go for CTR? worried about piston-valve clearance on high RPMs
2) balance crank
3) bore and hone block ; re-deck (deciding if going .25 or .50 over)
4) shotpeen rods (arp rod bolts to be used)
5) acl or oem honda main/rod bearings
6) hastings or oem honda rings
7) 2 ply head gasket (im not sure on this one, I think i have to used non vtec gasket?)
8) port and polish p3 head
9) skunk2 hi comp pistons (intake and exhaust)
10) skunk2 retainers and springs
11) oem keepers, seals, seats
12) so, still researching on rs machine vtec eliminator camshafts or skunk2 camshafts (which one, again still researching)
13) skunk2 adjustable cam gears (if needed, i assume i will)
14) arp head bolts
15) golden eagle lsvtec conversion kit
16) still researching on ITBs or skunk2 IMs. (tuning ITBs, HOW?)
17) chipped p28 (pondering if hondata is needed, most probably)
18) hondata intake manifold gasket
19) oem exhaust manifold gasket
20) oem oil pump, water pump
21) TODA timing belt
22) NGK V-power BKR7E spark plugs
23) 310cc injectors
24) 4-1 ITR headers
25) still researching if aftermarket fuel rail, fuel pump (most probably) and adjustable fuel pressure regulator are needed
i am starting from scratch.. a little back story on why..
