The build phase 1
Ok guys. After pulling the Si out of the shop I noticed a small tapping nois I had from the past has grown VERY loud. Almost as if a hammer is smaking on the top of my block. .
It is either:
A: Bad wrist pins
B: Rod bearings
C: Valve (But deemed not the case)
That means the Si is goiing into surgery early. Like... next week early. I will try to document as much as I can.
So! I was going to do some bottom end work like a SRP piston/eagle rod setup. But thanks to Marty, he found something better! Check it:
A fully pre-built bottom end from Import Builders.
B16A block
Wiseco Turbo Pistons, coated skirts
IB Spec H beam Rods
Balanced & Polished Crank
All Honda Bearings
2x blueprinted
New rear main seal
New Type-R oil Pump
New Type-R water Pump
Diamond Bore and Hone
Block guard
= one nasty Si with over 300whp potential DAILY.
