Haha, a bent rod cant be good.. lol so i dont see how its not that bad. You do not want to run a turbo motor with a bent rod, so rebuilding a motor is bad if u dont want to/ have to. But yea, welcome to the world of Oem honda parts.

dropping the replacement d15b7 in as a mini-me turbo for now. but i got ahold of a y8 block, and its gonna be built with eagle rods and srp pistons. hellz yeah

im talkin about the rod not bein bent that bad. you shoulda seen my buddies b18 when he hydrolocke his motor. that was bent. so do you have to get a new block?

who gives a ---- really, i've got a spare b7 laying around i got for $175, and a spare y8 i got for free. hell yeah *****. my friend swapped an h-series in, and he was like "why the ---- would i want anything with a sohc? take it, get that ---- outta my garage". i grabbed it and ran. the b7 is goin in now as a turbo mini-me while i build the y8 up, i think i said that already. yeah the rod was hitting the block i think, it has spider cracks on it so i'm just gonna toss it or make a cannon or something out of it.

why would i ever need anything more than 300hp on a well balanced street car? the sohc is much more suited to my power desires for the car and definitely on my budget.
