Well as a lot of you know, this was my first car and had it for about 4 years now.

Bought it all stock and went at it slow and steady.

Here are some shots form back in the day.

Those are some pretty internals. The GT3076 dont look bad either. Is that ball bearing or journal bearing? Are you building the stock D series or did you swap it?

My bad… Its GT3076R must be ball bearing. That turbo sounds sick on my cousins eg

Bike riding is iffy on the new tire to say the least, not liking it.

Im not sure about blockguards, they came with the block, so I’m not complanining. How could they be bad?

Go on honda-tech and read about blockguards, last time I checked everybody was saying they suck cuz they don’t make them out of the same material as the block, sleeves so when your engine heats up or cools down, your engine will have different movement then the block guard. But I might be wrong so go and check!, it better not be a block guard from ebay 🙂

It’s fine as long as block guard was installed before boaring and didn’t distort the sleeves, ill do a compression check when I get it.
