Im picking up the head and cams on monday. Bought a B16a head with some Toda Spec B cams.

I aslo picked these two items up from honda yesturday. They dont have anything to do with the motor but I thought I would share them anyways.

PCT pistons = CTR.

I also just today picked up my B16a head and Toda Spec B cams.

Got my price quote on my Valves, Springs and retainers. $500 shipped from Supertech.

Tonight I picked up my valve cover which I stripped and attacked with a gringer, and my new quieter exhuast. Still waiting to get pics of all the new stuff.

not yet..i moved into an apartment wiht my girl and cant spend money on it like i could. I did get the valve seals. Im still waiting on a short block. When i get my next check i will start getting more parts again. I still need to get the springs and retainers for the head and thats pretty much done.

I did get some great news today at work. The guy I work with got ahold of his friend that is selling the short block I am now getting. A JDM ITR unit. He also had one more ITR shortblock and a GSR shortblock.
