If you are able to provide any info Aerodeck I would be grateful, esp. with regards to basic engine mods. Be good to know of any problems these engines may have.

The B20a I just fitted to my car had 141,000 on it before the rebuild.
I enquired about getting the cams reprofiled and it was going to be quite expensive, thats one of the reasons I have the JDM cams now as I was looking for a newer set to get reprofiled but came accross the JDM ones instead.
There are very few parts available for the B20a engine (standard or modifyed even in the UK), most parts will have to come from honda.
Easy engine to work on apart from a couple of things. Main one I found was the valve spring compressor I have didnt work due to the depth of the valves in the head and the angle they are at. Other than that plain sailing. I ended up useing some prelude parts, but ended up spending a small fortune at the local honda dealers on the honda only parts I needed.
