a thread about just machine shops for motors would be a good sticky

According to my research there is a high possibility that you are a ricer

quality is by far the best shop to have machine work done at. i have heard nothing but compliments on their work. as for specs, it maybe best for you to check out other civic d16 forums to see what they have experienced. nicks b is a similar design for the era but still different.

Breaking the motor in during the coldest of cold months is definetly not the ideal in a perfect world. But if you can't wait I don't know man, it should be ok, just make sure EVERYTHING is up to proper operating temps before doing anything I guess. Especially going to upper revs or boosting a good amount. A fair amount of loading is going to help you seat the rings once everything is warmed up so you don't have to be a wuss, just don't blow your load enjoying all the groovy goodness right away I guess. Quality does good work from what I hear, and my old man used to have cranks balanced there, never heard a bad word from him about them and he's anal as all hell about that shit. Just remember any machine shop does as good of work as you demand from them, hopefully without messing up your crap first or charging you your first born. Good luck sounds like a sick build

why build a motor in the winter?what else am i going to do during the winter? i cant race, so i figure i will have alot more time to pay attention to the little things and just make sure its done right. i think winter is an ideal time to BUILD a motor, but i agree with heath about breaking it in. im a little nervous.

My motor was machined and assembled by Payn Technologies in MI the first time around. This last time it was honed and assembled by me and Nate.
As far as break in, fuck that. Get it on the dyno after you realize it doesn't have any leaks and let her buck.
