Haha sick... well as you guys know, everyone is welcome to come by and check things out if you're curious what certain parts look like or just wanna shoot the shit. Just let me know or give me a call when you wanna come by.

My AIM is loudsilence13b and my phone is 510-552-8229(yeah I know it's pretty blunt to put my number out on here but I trust you guys... well... most of you guys )

Ant's gonna be picking me up Sunday morning to head out to Stinstin beach so we can scope the area. So before we head out and when we get back is an open time for you guys to see my wreckage =(.

If I totalled my car... of course, but for a smaaall fee. But since all the damage is maintained inside the short block of the motor and only that part I don't think I'll be getting rid of anything that anyone is going to want other than maybe an oil pan lol.

you sound really optimistic. wish you were on the east coast to give me a hand with my engine. i wanna drop the oil pan to check the bearings and see whats up with the rods. i dont know what to look for though. but disassembling stuff is never a problem

Its usually putting stuff back together, then finding out you have 3 extra bolts, scratching your head saying"WTF"

you know it. my friend did a clutch job on his integra and everything was put together and he had a huge bolt left over. no idea where it went and the car's still like that right now running with no issues.

I'd have no problem helping you out if I were there. The only thing you'd be able to do without tearing it apart is check the end play of the crank. But that's not as accurate as doing a piston to wall clearance check or inspecting the cylinder walls. It should still give you an idea though of where you stand. Do an oil change and run the oil through a strainer... see if you catch any metal specs.

yo think running any different oil would make a difference? im running 5w 30 mobil 1 full synthetic. if it's a rocker arm or lifter making noise, would a little thicker oil make a difference?

The only huge bolt on an integra in an engine bay are the 2 19mm bolts that fasten the rear mount L bracket to the tranny. The L bracket connects with 1 long 17mm and 2 19mm's. If he has one huge bolt then that means the other 19mm is bolted up. So that's 2/3 bolts put in... for a honda that's good enough!

It should lighten the noise but not by much. You can try a thicker oil when you do the change. Just see how much metal specs(if any) you get when you drain the oil.

I got my head ordered from Honda yesterday. I held back on ordering the block and gaskets because I'm not sure if I want to go frankenstein or not. Jnaut seems to be running perfectly with it and dynoed 221 on a CRV k24 which puts out less power than a TSX k24. It's kinda making my head turn but we'll see how the source in Ohio goes... he's trying to sell me his TSX block but I have yet to speak to him about it further.

hey madmonkey, let me know how things go if you use a tsx block. i have that k24 from a tsx that a local wants to sell me and im not sure how it works. jnaut used a crv block and mentioned an rsx-s oil pump and timing chain for the swap. im interested in putting a complete k24 from a tsx in rather than a frankenstein build. any info would be helpful. thanks

[drfters13]

what k24! that would be sick. some shop estimated labor for the swap would be a grip! if i ever decide to do a k24 wanna do it for me? lol

You'd wanna use our head though. Our heads are the best heads of choice out there also adding more compression. I know for sure the heads are a complete bolt on because they are the same casting just diff. intnernal designs. I'm pming Jnaut back and forth as we speak getting as much info as I can. He's a nice guy.

Lol yeah that's why I try to do everything myself. I'd be glad to help you if you're willing to work on the car down here lol.

Haha damn good price but shipping might just put it over the edge. I want a TSX block though =/. I want that 11:1 compression hehe. But thanks rcracin13... it's real nice of you to offer to help ship it out to me.
