well they came today in the mail, and the dissassembly process will begin in a few hours. ive decided againts honing the block due to funds and lack of time that i can have the motor out of the car. im leaving the motor in the car for the change so the block wont be removed anyway. i know that some people swear that hone is totally neccessary and i know if i see cylinder damage i will definetly do it, but honestly is it totally neccessary to do? i know as far as i can tell the motor is real healthy, absolutely no oil consumption, compression #'s consistent 175-185...just trying to figure a few things out in advance...any replies or opinions is appreciated, thanx in advance

PS...anyone have experience with a similair swap? was there a noticeable difference goin from GSR 10:1 to JDM ITR 11.3:1???

I would do a very slight hone to get a nice crosshatch on the walls.

yea i knew that was at least what has to be done, but i honestly dont have the funds or time at the moment to do so, im thinkin bout boring it out all together next year maybe and getting so OS ones in there, i dunno...we will see...im hoping this adds some nuts and gets me moving a little more and works out for now tho, thanx for the response, any others are welcome

well i finally got the damn things out, fell a little short each of these past nights....well the pistons look damn good...alot better than my bros when he took his out with 50k on his swap B18C1, no blowby past the first ring, smoth edges and all crosshatch smooth surface in the cylinders...they are at the machine shop now gettin switched, its gonna be a little while till its done, but so far so good
