It's pretty quiet in here.
If you don't mind me asking, about how much did that block work cost you?

I always wondered what each of those things would cost. Machine work seems so exotic to me that I always assume it would all cost an arm and a leg.

i was expecting it to be a little bit less, say around 2-2.5k... but really nothing was crazy expensive its just a ton of small stuff besides the MID sleeve install

BTW still looking where to grab coolant from for the turbo if anyone knows

little update i tested the piston to valve clearance and have probably around 1/4 inch, barely even showed on the play dough i used. so we are good to go on that, going to torque the head down whenever i get back out there(was midnight so time to stop).

Im curious in case I go like your route. Was that $3482 and then all those parts added or is the $3842 total?

total, but that doesnt mean thats what your machine shop is going to charge you. it could be less or more, just have to talk to them

[wed3k]

how big is your cam and he fry cut a forged piston?

[93redcb7]

bisi stage 1.2 and yes he didnt take very much off though, just enough for clearance for piston to head

[bjaccord]

For your coolant needs bypass your throttle body coolant lines and run them to your turbo. Good looking build. L8r

[93redcb7]

been doing some work lately and figured id update

I believe he meant Fly cut. no such thing as a fry cut unless your at a fast food restaurant.

Nice! Lots of unnecessary work though.

[93redcb7]

what was unnecessary on that list?

[wed3k]

i wouldve started with a cherry crank that only needed a balance and polish or put the money towards knife edging.

align hone isnt really necessary unless the block really moved from the new sleeves.

seperate price for bowl hog and valve job? i really didnt think the fly cut is necessary, most hondas don't have that much lift or duration. that shop really got you.

line hone because of arp main studs
and im guessing it uses a different bit for bowl hogging and doing a valve job? not sure on that one really
and fly cut because they stuck out of the block 17 thousands, arias reccomends that the clearance from piston to head is 40 thousands(with head gasket)
