- Wed Oct 10, 2007 10:17 pm #26070 Just picked up my short block. Didnt get the one I had planned on becuase the guy decided to screw me over and tell me the price he said was without pistons and rods instead of without just pistons. Being that I already have pistons, i didnt care about not getting the pistons. Cant make it work with out rods though. So I didnt end up getting the JDM ITR i wanted. I did get a 94 GSR short block with AC compressor and alt. The wierd thing is I always thought GSR pistons said P72 on them, these say P73. Ill get some pics of everything I have when I drop the block off at my dads.

If you look close, you can see AO P73 on the pistons.

If they were JDM ITR pistons, they would say 00 P73, insted of A0 P73.

- Thu Oct 11, 2007 12:09 pm #26106 Yea, it will be a while before it goes in. But the pistons and rods will be taken out when I get it on a stand. I have PCT pistons to put in it. Im also going to clean up that block. Its nasty dirty. Gotta get a new oil pump, water pump, tensioner, rear main seal and bearings then I can put the short block back together.

- Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:24 pm #26980 Today I picked up the valve cover gasket, spark plug grommets and the cam seals. As soon as I sell my LS i can get a new tranny. Another GSR unfortunatly. I really wanted a B16 tranny. oh well. once thats done I can start focusing on the motor. its still sitting in the back of the car at the honda dealership right now.
