I don't really have a timeline for this. As I'm still working on a plan for what to do with this. Although this will give me 3 well running engines. So I can just pull out whatever when I have an issue and drop something else in. I do hope to have this all done and put together by sometime in the spring though. With Christmas coming up, it's definitely going to slow down for a little bit. I'm hoping to have a good dent put in the list by the end of this year. I know I won't be able to manage all of it and the machining costs. But I can get started on the road.
Things I still need:
- OEM Main Bearings
- OEM Rod Bearing
- OEM Thrust Washers
- OEM Oil Pump
- OEM Crank Seals
- OEM Water Pump
- OEM Idler Bearings
- OEM Oil Pan (I prefer the newer style aluminum ones as opposed to the steel. I've had so many gasket problems with the steel pans.)
- KS Balancer Shaft Delete Kit
- Flywheel (Thinking of going with an ACT Streetlight again. I've been very happy with the one on my sedan. Then again I might just save the money and stick the the stock one for the time being. I have a stage 2.5 Competition Clutch sitting on a shelf so no need to buy one.)
I plan on having the rotating assembly balanced, the crank micro polished, block sleeved. I can't think of anything else of the top of my head that I plan on doing to the block at the machine shop.
I wouldn't call this a full out build. More like a rebuild that went slightly awry due to Honda's cylinder sleeve choice. The head will just get a standard job done on it. Other than porting and polishing the intake and exhaust ports a bit. Although it seems I'm going to have to put some money into it as well. I'm sure the LMA's and some other things all need to be replaced. Or they should at least because this engine has unknown miles on it, and I don't know how the previous owner beat on it. I've already been pricing out some Supertech valve springs. I'm not even going to chance it on reusing the springs that are in it.
I will still keep plugging away on all of the other projects I have planned for Lola, while working on this engine. Although this did put a slight hold on my suspension plans. I'm still going to swap everything from the sedan over. But I was going to but some new Bilstein struts in to replace the most likely blown KYB AGX's. Oh well all in due time. I'm happy to have found and now own an H22A1 but man it sure threw a wrench into my plans.
