GOD! im so close to putting the WHOLE motor together and friday i called up Honda to order some main bearings to get things rolling on getting proper clearences and to my surprise all Green bearings are on backorder. So im stuck waiting for when they will come in, which i have no idea. i can taste how close the engine is to getting built. Been working on it for well over a year and probably a half now and i have a hill in the road that i have to climb but it will get there sooner than i had though

ok flip

you should, even 300whp in a civic is pretty damn fast. but now im hungry for some real power hoping for well over 400whp thats reliable and can handle more. Im so happy im over building the motor. but i made a jig to hold my crank while i size up my rod bearings to keep things rolling. i hate not ordering parts or working on the car/motor so gotta keep pushing.

little bit of an update on the motor build, main bearings came in from backordered. fit them in and there still a little on the loose side so i reordered some thicker bearings of browns and blacks and they will be in next week, ordered my rod bearings as well. Got my rods back from the machine shop as well which im excited about. so can literaly lick how close its to all going together. got my custom cam, ngk wires and plugs all installed, the whole top end is done and ready to be bolted on. got a timing belt, tentioner and a couple other miscilanious things.

Noob question: Why do you need a jig?

its just easier sizing rod bearings out of the motor insted of the crank being laid into the block, plain and simple eiser to do
