Re: Honda Engine

I rebuilt a couple of 1 gen Civic motors about 15 years ago, one of them in my 
living room! The were pretty straight forward except Honda is pretty finicky 
about bearing tolerances. They had 4 or 5 different bearing thicknesses  to 
accomodate the manufacturing tolerances when the block was line bored at the 
factory. As i recall Honda had a color code system in which each color 
designated a different thickness. I have no idea what Honda is doing on their 
current motors. 
PS 
I still have a 78 Civic that I need to sell cheap!

Any one know exactly how hard it is to rebuild a civic si engine at home?

Something tells me Bob Veila hasn't published this one yet....
