Thanks for the input fellas.
Looks like they are getting me a new shortblock & "whatever else the Honda tech needs". Dunno what that's supposed to mean although I did have at least one bent valve.
I've knda come to the point in my life where I need to focus on other things. Like getting a house. Heh. So I
may continue work on the Si, just not sure. Perhaps when i get it back I'll remember why I loved that car and my whole idea will change.......
