Alright, so I am starting my preps to build my engine.
Reason for build: bent rod four and scored the side of the cylinder.
Step one, I need to pull the engine apart so i can send it out to get sleeved. Is there a DIY poost out there that could help me through this.
Step two, I need to find a reputable shop in the Hampton Roads area of VA. Anybody know a good shop for that?
Step three, while I have everything apart, should I do the F24 stroke using the prelude and tsx parts? Is it worth the effort?
Step four, I have a Vortech supercharger kit that I am willing to pull off and sell for three grand, i plan on putting the inlinePro turbo on after the engine build.
Step five, It will be boosted...so I would appreciate any recommendations for parts to throw in while i have the whole thing pulled apart, so i only have to do this once. I'm looking for reasons on why those brands/parts come recommended too.
Step six, is there anything I should watch out for while i do this?
Thanks for any advice....

1.)yes but there arent pictures
2.)only shop i know is InlinePro in VA, but then again I'm in Florida
3.)I wouldnt use the tsx or prelude parts, they arent as strong as the s2000 pieces InlinePro makes out if billet. InlinePro has a F24c kit too I believe
4.)Ok....was that a statement or question?
5.)ok.....was that a statement or question?
I'm sure if you use InlinePro they will show you multiple options, brands/parts you should use.
6.)The boogey man or that jeepers creeper guy on back roads...
Good luck

If inline pro is local to you I would just go to them. Not to be rude but it sounds like you really don't know what you are doing and what you are getting yourself into. If you have done a project like this before then my apologies but if not you are in for a crap ton of work.
Also calm down and don't snap at people. That's a very fast way to not get any help from anyone on here.

Honestly, i havn't really done a build like this. I'm good with tools, mechanical stuff, and enjoy learning about my car. the reason im doing this build is becausee it is no longer my daily driver and i would like to be able to say that i did most of the work myself.
As for the snapping on people, i apologized to muffin and gave the reason for why i HAD snapped, so i dont think that should be an issue anymore.
Now, what exactly is the "crap ton of work" that im in store for, i just want to know so i can prepare myself for those obstacles.
thanks
