Thanx for the help hybridsol, whtteg, and everyone else . I am curious though, what is that pesky oil leak that whtteg said he heard a lot of ppl talk about? Also, I heard somewhere (not sure where) that LS/Vtec's have a shorter engine life before it's time for a re-build. Is this true? Or is this untrue, more of a consiquence of a bad and incorrect LS/Vtec build? Thanx

Yea I think it is just ppl who cut corners and don't do everything right that causes it to have a shorter lifespan. But it is a honda system and if well maintaned it will last long enough, i would say that if the swap was done right and had all new internals then it could easily see 150K miles, but I don't know for sure that is just an educated guess, you have to understand that to make good hp that engine life will almost always be shortened. And I have a feeling that the oil leak problem is probably just the oil line for the vtec solenoid or someone not cleanning the head surface and the block surface properly and also you have to torque the head bolts in the exact order that the manual states or the head gasket will not seal right in the long run, that could also be the reason for the oil leak. If nobody else answers the questio before i find out the info then I will post it here or pm it to you.

I know a high horsepower motor under heavy boost will have a shorter life, I am asking about the LS/VTec part, no boost, as for shortened life. And besides, I am not gonna do anything myself I can't handle...if I have to, I'll go down to LA or Arizona and have someone life SRD, Holeshot Racing, or JG engine Dymanics build it. I wanna make sure I know whats what and all that jazz beofre I start or pay someone. So I am trying to "Do my Homework" now, before I even start.

Like I said, I won't do anything myself I can't handle. I would like to gather the info and do it myself, the other was a back-up plan, a what-if. I said I would go there if I HAD to, but my plan is to learn what I can..and eventually do it myself, as long as I can handle it and do it right. I won't allow myself to get half-way in and be like...oh sh*t, what do I do. Thats when the costs really start to build.

Hey, thanx for the site whtteg, that helps. Also, I found an Article in HOnda Tuning on doing an LS/Vtec. SRD in Arizona (ppl I have talked to before, actually) are the ones how did the swap for the tech prodedor. It's in the May 2003 issue I belive. That and the site help, they give me an idea w/ photo's bout what everyone is saying.
