So me and Cuzzo were peruzuing the junk yard, going after a y7 in a Midor Green hatch (poor thing is rotted to hell...RIP). We came across a DA Integra, with everything but a head on the motor. So, we pulled everything but the cable tranny. It's a B18a1 with about 180k on it. The hood got left open, so it filled with water...I'll let the pics explain.
The cylinder walls were quite rusty, but after honing them out real good, the rust is gone. They're smooth, not pitted or anything. A little dis-colored from the rust, but smooth. DIdnt take pics of that yet. More to come, though. Not quite sure where we're going with this block yet...options are either LS/Vtec with GSR internals, or straight LS with boost. Leaning more towards LS/Vtec. Thoughts?
The crank is pretty shot, along with the pistons, but my uncle insists to just "re-ring it, new bearings, polish the crank, and run 'er." Those are his direct words, but then again, he's a Chevy guy (literally has like 4 cars and about 10 different motors kicking around the garage...).
