Nothing to my Integra... but something to it's new motor...
This was the 2nd weekend in a row that I had worked on my new engine. Last week we basically just pulled off some parts, and tidied a few things up... nothing productive.
This week on the other hand... We started with this

And these parts needed to be fitted

And for those of you playing at home... it'll be fitted to this in the next 2 weeks (Sourcing a few smaller pieces)

The day started by pulling the rocker and timing covers off. The engine looks very clean inside

(Cam on the right of the above pic is the 25' VTC)
After we took the covers off we had to remove both the timing chain, and the oil pump chain (Refer above picture), as I'll be running a K20 oil pump rather then the K24 one... and after I compared the two, I was happy I made that decision

Top is the K24 oil pump, bottom is the K20 oil pump (This needs to be slightly modified). As you can see, K20 item is MUCH smaller, and uses MUCH less parts... so should make a few extra KW.

Here is a picture of the crank... again... nice and clean.

After this, we moved onto fitting the 50' VTC. This is a fairly basic procedure, as it's just loosening the old 25' VTC, then replacing it with the 50' VTC.

After the VTC was fitted, we fit everything back together, which was a little bit trickier then we thought, as we were worried about stretching both the timing chain and the oil pump chain. But once everything was fitted, everything lined up, and nothing was stretched

Here is a pic of everything fitted before we put all the covers back on.
We put the J's Racing K20 Baffled sump on, which was basically the only "issue" from the entire day! The K24 sump is made of a thin steel, where as the K20 sump is made of a cast metal, so we couldn't use the bolts from the K24 sump. As I found out Hondabond is great stuff, so I'll be taking the bolts from my current K20 when I take it out in 2 weeks!
Final pics with RBC and Skunk2 70mm throttle body fitted!

I'd like to thank Jimmy for BYP, as he has helped me a fair bit with parts and information on my current build.
If anyone has any questions, let me know
