Your Civic eg brotherns will probally want more info then "redo" your engine. Whats wrong, what needs to be fixed or replaced.

If you dont have the time and are willing to pay to get something done, Its worth the money to have a compeint shop to do the work. Given your In California there has to be tons of good shops down there, I have heard of Church automotive for example and 2 states north of you.

Having a Good shop do the job will lead to less headaches down the road. I Know I personally trust very very few people to work on any of my cars/engines/builds. If you can make time to do the build yourself it will give you grater confidence in what you can do, and you will know its been done right.

whats wrong is...once my car hits high rpms...starts shooting black smoke out the tailpipe like crazy!! its like right after the vtech kicks in. uummm the tranny makes a funny noise when i step on the gas or let go of the gas...im thinking the bearings inside are all jacked up..not sure..this is my 1st build..and im new to the game. i would honestly like to do all the work myself but like i said no time..military takes to much of my time. :x lol. and i dont have the tools for the job nor the smarts for all the wiring stuff. i got much to learn sadly. :cry: all the info you guys are giving me is great stuff. i actually learned alot just on this website alone. trail and error but when it comes to motor stuff id rather leave it to pros. or people who are local and actually know what theyre doing. theres many shops i know...but im not tryna burn my pockets either. :cry:
