That gigantic allen bolt on the right might be a oil connection for the turbo on the 1.5LT. I took off two, the other one was much smaller and had a filter...

Myxalpyx said he didn't get any noticeable change from adding cams, but I think it might all be "in the tune..." I am wondering who will tune this for me. I see Javitune is in South Florida, but I'd have to trailer her down there. Good thing I bought a car hauler ;-) !!!

Exhaust cam. I started loosening the valve adjusters, but then noticed without the timing chain, the cams just lift out, duh... A couple valve springs went all over the floor when I flipped the engine back upside down. Now would have been a good time to take the springs off by hand... Weird, I didn't see any retainers go flying. I haven't disassembled the head yet. Will do pics of that in another post...

Intake bump stick lifted up. I wonder if I should deck the head 30 thousandths to increase compression further. I am going to do two tunes, one for 93 octane, the other for ethanol. I want to race on the corn fuel...

There's quite a few little caps for the cam journals. They looked pretty clean (obvi).

So, maybe there are no retainers for the springs, how does this crap work, and what did I forget??? I started with the valve cover still on LOL.

Closeup of one piston. Interesting little dots in the head gasket where more flow could be happening on the water around the jackets. Anybody know what that's about?

GE is going to sleeve all four of the cylinders, and I am going to pay extra for all the align honing, balancing, blue printing, whatever they can do. They're installing the pistons there. Do Hondas use Clevite 77 bearings?

Bottom side of the head. No wonder CarbonTek recommends increasing the size of the valves. I'm going 1mm on the intake, 2mm on the exhaust.

All that black area is going to get hogged out. The membrane there between pistons 2 and 3, and between each valve will be thinned and polished. On pistons 1 and 4, CarbonTek reports there is hidden water channels to avoid when porting. Hopefully my cylinder head porter will know what to do...

Usually on a intake runner you leave it a bit rough to prevent "atomization" because you're getting 14.7 parts air, and 1 part fuel for stoichiometric burn, but when you have direct injection, all you have is air coming in the runner. So, my idea is to ask the cylinder head guy to smooth it out like as if it was extrude honed, or part of the intake manifold. Get the velocity up to maximum coming into the combustion chamber. Of course the "money shot" is inside the intake valve bowl area...

One tiny piston on a stick. I am getting lightweight reinforced Brian Crower connecting rods with ARP2000 fasteners. By the way, the end caps are broken off the rods on the Honda factory pieces, pretty snazzy for an econobox...

And then I'm doing Traum pistons - GE Spec 75mm bore ah, only 12.5:1... Still the ethanol should take advantage of the increase compression. Wonder if I could run meth in the winshield washer motor for quarter mile burns... LOLFIT, I'm coming for your record!

Any honda tech gurus wanna assure me that the Honda civic L15B7 oil pump would fit right on here and significantly increase oil pressure for high G turns??? C'mon where y'all at???

There is a panel on the back side of the block with a vacuum hose sticking out of it. I removed that and therein is a rat's maze of "aluminium" for any Limeys who may be reading.

Pick of the rear of the block with the automatic flex plate finally removed. Trying to decide on flywheel and clutch choice. L15B7 OEM Honda? Should hold my 200+ hp I hope to get out of this build...
