Now before my build gets totally jacked, here are some pics on the reassembled motor. It has taken me a little bit of time to put together, just on the basis that it is the first motor I have done and doing everything by the book. Now all I need is an engine hoist :D

The motor is finale back in the car!! :cheer_leader Just a few little things to finish up before it gets fired up tho. For now all of the wiring is connected and drive shafts are in. Still need to pick up a brake master and some fluids and then it will be good to go.

That is just such an awe inspiring assemblage of Honda parts and time and work. Your first drive should make you smile for the better part of a month! :D

I'd be afraid to drive it. Pretty sparkly clean.
