Well i've been trying to find the best full engine rebuild kits for the h22a.. and i'm unsure who to go with.. i wanted honda oem.. but daym there expensive.. and i need everything since i'm building the engine from scratch since the block just got golden eagle sleeves...
and since its goin into my 3rd gen prelude.. i want to stay within stock specs on the rebuild so i can hopefully pass smog... and the ref.. unless anybody knows of what aftermarket parts would still be fine...
So far these are the only two kits i could find but i don't kno how the quality is..

I've checked hondaautomotiveparts.com and i can't figure out exactly what parts i need.. and seem a whole lot more expensive...
the plan is i'm gonna pick up the block and head from afterburners in vegas.. the issue is i want his help to either put the crank and pistons and piston rings in.. what else can i do while still having the block and head separate? i kno i can't get the valve springs and retainers on unless the head is on the block so any ideas u guys have would help a lot.
