Yeah thats too much money for me at the moment. There is just too much other stuff i need to do to the car still. Needs repainted, clear coat flaking off. Basically everything is stock except for head unit and JVT Racing header. Plus it is an automatic, so i figure why bother. Maybe if i...- JDM_Rook

Yeah thanks for your help. I would have never found a link like that for machine shops. Next week i will be dropping it off, and hoping for good things to happen. I was also even thinking of painting the block with high-temp paint too, but i dont have an engine stand that would certainly make...- JDM_Rook

I called Finishline motorsports and they gave me an estimate at atleast 500-600 dollars. I was then able to call another shop within a 2 hrs drive, and gave me a really good price of $285 for assemble/dissassemble and honing. And it would be another $50 for new piston rings. I think this is...- JDM_Rook

Yeah, i called machine shops around here Carquest & Napa to be exact and they said they do not do any dissassemble/assemble. They need a bare block. Yeah i have a real close friend who eats, sleeps, craps VWs all day long. He is real mechanically inclined. Not sure if he had ever done a...- JDM_Rook

Yeah that seems kind of involved. How hard is that exactly? I seriously doubt i could do that on my own. I have no special tools to reassemble the pistons either. There is some slight roughness to it when you run your finger accross. like fine 2000 grit sandpaper. I hope i didn't waste 300...- JDM_Rook

Here is the used block i just bought. What do you think of the piston walls? Does it need dissasembled and rehoning? Could i try to remove the rust myself without taking it apart? I have read forums about this subject. Some people suggest Wd-40 and scotbrite pads. I have also heard muratic...- JDM_Rook

Yeah, it's hard to find 6th gen accords in junk yards here. If you did, you would prob have to take the time to pull the motor out yourself. I found and F23 used engine on jspecauto.com for $899 and it is local, i could go pick it up. The warranty is for 6months. Sounds like the best deal i...- JDM_Rook

I have a 99 accord w/ a F23a4 engine and automatic transmission. Spent $400 getting the cylinder head machined and looked over at a shop and reinstalled. Came to find out that the oil leaking in coolant system in probably due to cracked block. The mechanic said that Honda had problems with that...- JDM_Rook
