LOL, yeah that dolly has more hp then my festiva right now. Anyway, I'm not dropping this engine in for a couple of months. I need to pull the b3, repaint the entire car and install the interior.
Is there anything I should do to this thing while it's just sitting around? Cover the ports? Fill it with oil? Anything?

The power to weight ratio must be spectacular on that beast.

I stuff rags in holes to keep dirt, bugs, and critters out. Make sure there's no water in it if it's sitting somewhere that it can freeze.Originally posted by jcbgrady View Post
I'd put it on an engine stand and start installing new (depending on current mileage); timing belt, water pump, oil pump, VC gasket, rear main seal, front crank seal, and possibly valve stem seals. It's alot easier with the motor out of the car and on a stand :thumbright:Comment

^ Excellent advice. Especially about the front and rear seals. Nothing worse than having the engine in the car and then finding out you have a leak.Originally posted by Zanzer View PostFestiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.

Yeah, thanks for the advice. I'll see about getting a stand. I'm planning on a mid June swap. It sounds like plenty of time, but for me it's not. I have to account for all of the mistakes I'm bound to make =P.
When I start replacing seals and what have you I'll start a thread in the n/a swap forum. I'll questions for sure. Thanks guys!
