[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Thin piece of sheet copper, cut hole, make a "crush washer" for that oil cap- turn down tight, till K lines up. What don't you like about the vc dress up kit? I think its very nice. I would either get a shorter belt (they're measured in mm BTW) or cut down that ridiculously long adjusting screw- which actually looks easier, since those pulleys are close now. I haven't watched the "build" series yet, but that is a beautiful engine.

[@spideybuildscars]

I'll be watching these videos for my build. I have a 04 accord coupe that I'll do the head swap to. Thinking about building the motor afterwards to go turbo

[@themechanic6117]

Do the head swap and some cams . see if you notice the power increase 👍

[@TrueDiaboli]

ThatSaturn Kid Make sure you replace your pistons also. Stock Accord pistons will hit your k20 valves.

[@spideybuildscars]

@@TrueDiaboli I was debating between turbo or head swap, should I do head swap first, or turbo? And thanks for the info on the pistons

[@TrueDiaboli]

ThatSaturn Kid Depends on budget. You would have to get some ECU solution like a kpro. Then you could do motor work and stay NA and then later add a turbo. It all depends on how much time/money you want to spend up front.
