- Sat Apr 14, 2012 6:05 pm #301862 Oh thats right I remember you saying that now. That is still going to be really sweet to be able to drive around with out it sucking fuel until you step into it.

- Sat Apr 14, 2012 6:27 pm #301866 Ya, I'm getting excited.

Once the pistons show up, I can run the block and pistons to the machine shop and get that squared away. Just playing the waiting game.

- Wed Apr 18, 2012 5:46 pm #302235 Valves showed up yesterday! Pistons showed up today!

I'll be running the block, crank, rods and pistons down to the machine shop to get everything cleaned up and the block bored/honed. I'll ship the had out tomorrow.

Machine shop said the block will be done Monday, so I'll probably pick it up Tuesday. I was hoping to have the shortblock assembled this weekend, but oh well.

Supertech 85mm 12.5:1 (+6.5cc) pistons

Golden Eagle cam gears, Decided to get these since the SRR's were sooo hard to read when degreeing. My blind friend should appreciate it. LOL

it'll be fine @ 85mm on stock sleeves. Did plenty of research before I made the decision. There's a lot of good info on hondatech believe it or not.
