    HAHAHA! MIDNIGHT EXPRESS! lol seriously though, after taking the head off and seeing all that crap inside there, I would HIGHLY recommend anyone putting a used engine to at least pull the head off and just take a peek and get that crap out.

    I hope to bring the block and the VTEC head I got down to a machine shop next week. SO, the plan is to reassemble the engine by the end of January. MWHAHAHAHA

    Jeez, what was the previous owner using for fuel................Hershey's syrup? That is nasty. I'm sure with some work you'll be able to get it back into peak operating condition.

    No to the LS tranny because it's gear ratios suck for acceleration. I will most likely get a JDM S1 from a 1st gen B16A.
