:dunno: I hope by this weekend. I just have two more gaskets, a valve cover (if I can't find mine), and valve cover bolts and it will be finished.

Well, heres an update with some new pictures...

Almost have the head complete a ready to go on. I need a few misc. nuts and screws, two TB gaskets, a VC gasket, VC bolts, and VTEC Solenoid bolts.

The reason why my car is in the driveway

Still working on the wire tuck, but I'm getting there. I'm not doing to bad IMO for just getting some basic pointers and doing it myself for the first time.

Belive it or not, its organized LOL

Still getting some of the old HG off of the block. Damn you Honda and your metal composite HG's!

180,XXX miles bishes!

It must be fast with this in the car...ROFL

My only mod...

Still ugly

The pistons look that way cause I took awesome care of that motor which reminds me, I've put 1500 miles on the crx since buying lol only another 1000 till her second oil change. Also Rob I'm having a problem getting those upper ball joints in cause there saying the company I bought them from no longer is manufacturing them so I'm trying to get them to give me the ones that cost like $100 more on each side and there supposebly adjustable upto like 3 degrees.

Front bumper should be finished saturday, I'm not doing nothing this week cause I will have my son and friday night were celibrating my b-day since its on the 11th. But hopefully I can come out and sit in my baby again this weekend when I bring the ol front bumper piece.

Good job on the wire tuck and she looks good so far.

Thanks Corey, just LMK about the bumper and the ball joints. I should have the crank pulley off for Cale this week since I have to do a T-Belt.
