My B18 Rebuild (Questions)
Ok so I have this thing sitting around, what I plan to do is just change the crank oil seals, take out the pistons, hone it out, get B16 pistons throw on a set of new rings and call it a day, I will plastiguage the bearings and if they are fine should I just reuse them or buy new ones? I dont want to risk a fucked bearing again, the engine has 300,000kilomiters on it, so about 180,000 miles but I heard it run before I pulled it out and it ran great, no blow by, strong compression and such.
so let me know about the bearings guys.

Re: My B18 Rebuild (Questions)
I've heard alot of bad stories about the ls/vtecs though...oil pressure problems, people over revving them thinking it's a b16, lack of oil squirters firing at the pistons to help cool them and such. Anybody ever had any of these problems? I just helped one of my friends swap an ls into his 90 hatch, and now he's thinking about throwing the b17 head from his gsr on it too, even though i told him not to...just another can of worms to open up
