I´ve just rebuild my engine 1.8L 16V PL code. And i must agree its a lot LOT of money. But as Ben said, if you´re not going to do naughty stuff to it, its nonesense. I did´t all the naughty stuff to my 16V engine, complete engine and head rebuild, lightened crank, lightened flywheel, cams set, ported & polished head and intake manifold, balancing, counterweighting, blue printing. I wen´t directly for 2nd oversize, i must STATE its a complete HONDUH KILLER (unsupercharged ones) Revvvvss like a devil.
