    Yeah, it's a top mount. It's mainly going to be a fun weekend car that will occasionally see the track, definite not a daily driver lol.

    Top mounts are awesome, and rare I wish I was able to have a weekend/track car, I'm envious. Can't wait for that day!

    Top mount FTW! I love the 430whp SOHC civic Clean setup, sleeper! Any vids?

    OK, here are some pics :







    Good news and bad news. The engine made ridiculous power and torque. The bad news is that a ringland cracked off from the top of the piston. Now it's time to do pistons and rods. Unfortunately, it's going to take a couple of weeks, but it will be back on the road soon. Enjoy the dyno and vid in the meantime.

    Damn. Another guy on here blew up on they dyno also. Just an FYI. If you plan to up the boost look into sleeves. My k24 sleeves got murdered an warped out of round on a few pulls.

    Is this all happening because these are K24 motors? Because it's beginning to make me worry, I have 53k on my stock K20Z3 motor and have been boosted for 11k miles so far. All is good, but this motor blowing business worries me.
