I finally found the problem with my B18C. It had a warped head. SO I got another one from the local junk pile.. And what happens today? Well all in all Im pretty sure I spun a crank bearing... Damn thing ran awesome too... So is it worth it to pull it and rebuild it or just start over with another short block? Of course the guys over in the Prelude forums tell me to put an H22 in it like a true Prelude but I love my B.

If i could afford a K20a then maybe. But all I have is a B18C1 with a spun crank bearing. I can find another crank for cheap and the rod piston combo I want is 1100 so all in all I can have a very strong B18C for like 13-1500.. I cant get a K20a and trans for that price.

Yes I am. I did the swap myself and to be honest all I need is the manual and Ive got a boatload of tools over at dads house. To be honest, I dont trust anyone to even touch my car with a sponge lol
Ive torn it down once before but only to replace some seals, water pump, new head, adj timing gears, etc. Thats why i love the B18... I know it well enough, I have plenty of tools, and its a learning experience for me.
