yup i been readin about it and i think thats prolly the best way to go.

this rod is takin a while to get here. the new rod bearings have arrived tho.
in the meantime i've ordered a complete gasket set, fuel rail, a new clutch kit, timing belt, water pump, 02 sensor, spark plug wires, plugs, distributor, starter, some radiator hoses, altenator, and vtec solenoid valve. i think i'm also gonna get that balance shaft removal kit for 125 and then not have to mess with any of that plus that'll make more room next to the frame rail where h2bs tend to get really close.
other than what i've already ordered the rest is going to be just a bunch of misc parts. bolts. nuts. vacuum lines. the hardest part will probably be getting bolts for the h2b plate.
i've got a few buddies out here that are gonna fix me up a custom mount for the alternator.
i've been reading up on all the h2b swaps that are in the first 3 pages of a google search.
with everything i've ordered i'm back to level zero on the moolah scale but it'll take me a while to get it all together (mainly waiting on the parts) so next paycheck will go to the misc parts. i'm hoping the fastenal company we have here in town will have everything i need.

looked under the hood again today.
whats gonna come out of it is a b18b1 engine and the tranny i have which i'm keeping has some numbers of s24c xxxxxxx i dont remember the x's.
i have two sets of 4 injectors. one in the car one in the center consol. both sets are rc pb8x-1000 injectors.
only bad thing is that one injector from the consol is kinda fudged up

i talked to a guy from qsd about getting some h2b kit bolts and they said they have the whole bolt set for 270 buckaroos. i only need the ones for the adapter plate...but he said there are over 100 bolts in that kit and cant get me the ones for JUST the adapter plate.
Why not just grab them from the hardware store?

i started in with a little more work tonight.
i went ahead and took out both balance shafts...i've read that they're pretty much just for idle and even at idle it isn't noticeable without them and doesn't affect engine wear. plus it removed about 13 lbs.
i still need to get some gasket sealer and loctite goop.
found that the people i ordered my rod from say that its out of stock so i went to another site that had a lowest price guarantee...which was around 110 so i showed them the 89.10 and the guy called today and said he'd get back with me tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.
also accidentally ordered a balance shaft belt...durh da durh. :twak:
but luckily the guy called me today and said they were all out so he was just gonna refund my moneys...so i bitched at him for a bit like we great customers do and then smiled slily as i hung up...i love being so crafty and clever.
i'm hopin to get a few days off in the upcoming weeks to put my baby together i have time now but i aint got my parts...i shoulda overnighted parts from japan.
