Re:Bay Pic of my LS/Vtec CRX
 

My cost was pretty cheap, I cut every corner I could.. It is true that the LS/Vtec has been known for problems, but I think the name has got a bad rep from people doing it all wrong.

Basically some kids slapping on a B16a head on a Stock B18a with 175k miles and not knowning what they were really doing. So then they go out and rape the ---- out of it, complain that it leaks, and now it knocks. Probably also using a B16a ecu as well. Which means it runs like ----.

I highly recommend rebuilding the bottom end with new bearings, and using a Vtec oil pump. Also using Factory gaskets. You really shouldnt have a problem. I am worried sometimes about the whole rod stroke ratio idea, especially since when I dyno'd all my peak HP was at 8000rpms. Oh well, its to early to tell so far...

You find alot of cool ---- dumpster diving, I found a computer once and it worked and it was like brand new, just had a busted up outside. And around me there is an junkyard that no ones owns, its just free for everybody. Every now and then you will see a new car out there that some one just dumped there.

No, the bottom end hasnt been touched, just incredibly low milage.
