That being said, it's your head. If you wanna stay with the 4w and want to send the one I've got back as the core, that's fine

I just figured I'd send him a check and the head at the same time, seeing as I have the spare(s) and all.
I think the 4W head you are using right now has a 5A cam in it? Christ I have too many parts.

If I end up using the 6D head, I actually have all the front end covers and plastics so the 4W stuff can stay with the head. Also, I may have a spare set of thupertech valve stem seals that were intended for that head. I was going to install them when I checked the shims...
Other than that, you should buy things from Vlad. So other things can go in the box

Are you re-shimming the valves while you've got it apart?

Yeah... The BBK is just another thing sitting on the shelf, tempting me...
I'm not sure if there's any left. I plan on starting the registration process and fully expect I wont get my BAR appointment until sometime time late this year/early next year. I can register it without a SB100 and then come Jan 1st, show up to the DMV needing only a SB100 and not all the other SPCNS stuff.
If that looks like it's going to be the case I wont take the Exocet. My girlfriend has a 06 si I can steal and a friend with a NA is also going and has offered to let me drive his car if need be. The Exocet is definitely going to be a fair weather only car.
Plus if it rains buckets we'll be slightly less fucked on this drought thing!

And I live on the peninsula now!
What did you end up doing for headlights and where did you get your brake and light inspection? Also really good to know that there may be SB100's left for me! I don't know if you plan on doing it, but a detailed writeup on your registration process would be awesome

Engine tear down!
Step one: Put the engine on the stand and take lots of pics.
Not really sure what happened to the filter. Maybe the block got knocked over?
Step two: Drain oil!
Step three: Curse a bit and spend quite some time removing the oil pan.

Engine tear down continued...
Step four: Curse lots more and spend even more time removing the windage tray.
Really glad I have 12 point sockets.
Yay! ARP main studs!
Step five: Take some more pictures!
Step six: Remove pistons.
Step seven: Check crankshaft endplay.
Yay! only 0.008", A tiny bit bigger than I would like, but definitely not crank eating the block bad.

I'm not an engine machinist, but I play one on the internet!
Step 11: Hone the cylinders!
LOL!11!!!!!!! The image above doesn't work because the image link randomly ended in "a s s" without the spaces.
Results:
Cylinder 1.
Cylinder 2.
Cylinder 3.
Cylinder 4.
Artsy shot for fun!
There's still a few vertical scratches (2 and 3 have the biggest) but I can't feel them with my fingernail. Unless someone convinces me otherwise soonish I'm gonna call it good. My cheap Chinese bore gauge isn't precise enough to tell the difference in size before and after honing(~0.003 of clearance). Time to get some rings!

1) Go to the DMV to start the process. You will pay taxes on everything, and get your info loaded into the system.
2) CHP visit to make sure you engine and tranny are not stolen.
3) BAR to look everything over and see if it is road worthy. I've heard this is now a two step process. You show up the first time and they take pictures of everything and send them back to the mothership in Sacramento. You then go back a second time to gather paperwork and get your new sticker!
4) Back to DMV to finish the process and get your plates.
The best resource is the following: http://home.thegrid.net/~ffr4776/SB100_Registration.pdf
I've used it as the bible for everything. It gives links to documents needed and even tells the DMV person what page in the large book to use for typing things into their own system.
