Hmm, I must have had RB engines on my mind.....lol

OK, thanks for the info. That's what I was wanting to clarify.

Good deal. I'll be looking you up in January provided I buy that MKIII needing the rebuild.

Sorry, I'm still learning specifics about the 7M and was basing my post on experience w/ other engines where it usually isn't good to have the pistons sticking out. I'll have to remember this during my own rebuild so I don't thinks somethings wrong when I notice them sticking out. On a side...

Considering that Cometic and other manufacturers make multiple thickness MHG's I doubt it would be an issue to find one to make up for material milled/decked however I was wondering if it is imperative to return the thinkness back to stock? I understand it will affect the quench and squish...

I have a friend w/ an 87 MKIII turbo w/ targa top is that needs quite a bit of reassembly for 900ish so...

Hey everyone, I've been doing a bit of research lately on my next build plan and decided it would make sense to post up and introduce myself to other members prior to posting any tech questions. Anyway I'm Jake and I've been building Honda's for quite some time now so I am no stranger to the...
