The B20VTEC discussion thread

[pinoy-boi]

i have bought multiple packages from those guys... delivered (with tracking) in usually 7-10 business days, BUT they can expedite it if you need (i.e. 5 days) for extra cost (like 45 postage vs 25)...

however - this time of year there will be all sorts of disclaimers saying that times cannot be guaranteed due to the Christmas period!!!

Thanks for the help TB, will hve the engine ready mid next week, so hopefully get it back before the xmas holidays, but i highly doubt it -_-"

wow, that is a pretty good list!

but you also need to check things like the condition of the driveshafts, i usually get them reconditioned at the same time if the boots are starting to crack...

also check the engine mounts...

Yes its fine

[tinkerbell]

i would change the head gasket to golden eagle gasket that comes with the kit

and alternatively, i would not change it to non-Honda head gasket or use any 'kit'

[Lerlo]

Yes its fine

Cool. Does it make a difference which goes first?
