One of those covers is a little busted up, but just pull the one from your stock shocks and A-OK, cosmetic and dust cover only, still totally functional

I also included the rubber tops and bottoms from the rears, and my bump stops are pre-cut here so you don't need to cut yours

Here's the front cover. Still upside down. I had to use a pretty big breaker bar to get the crank bolt off. I wonder what the torque on that baby is? Also wonder if it is reusable?

The back side of the front cover. I imagine if I order a Honda L15B1 rebuild kit from Honda, they will give me new front and rear cover seals, right?

Front side of the head and the block. intake cam is the one with the big wheel (not talking down to anybody just in case you're not a wrencher...). Water pump has been removed from the big hole mid-block on the left side with the two studs. I had to pull the studs too to deliver a clean block to GE.

The intake cam has twice as many lobes on it. I think that is to enable ? 1 ? of the intake valves to go into VTEC mode? Both exhaust valves are pushed off one cam lobe... Should be cheaper when I have my cams ground with the Bisimoto Stage 3 grind from Web Cam. I think they quoted me 8 bills for both bump sticks...

Here is the back side of the block and head. Just one exhaust "port" because the collectors off the four cylinders are inside the head. Allows them to not have to "make" an exhaust manifold, other than the coffee can before the cat...

Some of these are going to get repetitive but you never know when you need to see something from a certain angle. Those big studs held on some of the EGR crap I think...

Here you can see rocker arms. They have little actuators on them that allow them to get intertwined with probably the VTEC actuator? I am going to have to do some research on how to properly disassemble and reassemble them.

The valves weren't coked up very much. The engine supposedly had 15,000 miles on it. The intake manifold was cracked so they gave me a spare. I am going to put the cracked one in my vise, dissect it and see where we could get the best airflow...
