motor is at the machine shop now. going with a hotrod crank, athena rod, weisco 12.5/1 piston. Upgrading to R valves (the x ones are smaller) full port and polish job on the heads, stage one hot cam, dual race valve springs i think that is about it. this is pretty much the same set up the factory honda guys are running. only differnce is the use a 2002 R cam in their Xs instead of the hotcam i am putting in. But they are very similar only the hot came is about a hundred bucks cheaper. review will come once i get the beast back together next week.
