So I am about to begin my motor rebuilding process. I did use the search function and found hondadustrs thread which was very helpful. The car is a Spec-944 Racecar so no fun mods
. It is an 1988 motor. My question is:
If I do the rebuild myself I.e. R&R motor, disassembly, reassembly, etc. but leave the actually machine work to the pros,
1. how do I know what size bearings, and piston rings to use?
2. Do they give me a spec?
3. For a first time builder is there a guide of sorts available? I know the basics but not the exact steps. Blame the anal retentive German in me
4. What is the cam lobe tolerance to check in case I need a new cam?
5. Anything special I should do while I'm in there for longevity? Oil pan baffle, turbo oil cooler with external cooler, etc?
6. Any brands I should avoid for parts (seals, rings, bearings, break in oil, assembly oil etc)?
7. Any brands you suggest?
Thanks for the help,
Blake
