Just a few pics from today...
Nothing too much special but I haven't shared many pics in a while...
These were taken in my back yard this afternoon:
And for those not keeping up on Honda-Tech... With the help of Trenell, Bryan, Paul, and Mike I got the engine fired up last weekend. All went well... the new engine sounds very good and I now await the warmer weather so that I can start the tuning. Initial compression tests after running the engine came out 283,283,283,280psi. My old engine last measured 180psi across the board so I'm pretty pleased with the new numbers...
here are a couple pics of the engine from las weekend:
Rocker wear after 20 minutes of running.
And the whole engine with the valve cover off.
A couple more pics from the day (not taken by me :P)

There's plenty to do outside my room but I choose not to!

Sorry I didn't come out for the fun Doug.
I heard that Rachel had Trenell reading books to her...lol
I did watch the video that Trenell took with my camcorder!
and I definitely like the new facial hair....

While most hard parker’s actually use these as cosmetic pieces they actually serve two purposes when used on race cars.
1st: They absorb water and keep the reservoir drier which is very important because it reduces the moister exposed to the break fluid. Break fluid (particularly racing fluids) absorb moister very quickly and become useless.
2nd: When cornering very hard the brake fluid can leak out a little and the socks absorb this fluid and stop it from spilling on the paint. Brake fluid will eat through paint very quickly.

love the pics and progress on your car. just a quick question i know u regularly track your car, just want to know if that is the stock radiator if it does the job for track and what kind of thermostat, coolant you run?

I've been running with the stock radiator/coolant since day one. I also run with the Mugen thermostat. Engine temperatures have never been a big issue for me. I'm not sure how the new engine will behave, but I'll be data logging the sessions and comparing.
