Okay so i picked it up from my buddy for $50 from when he pulled it out off his 92 gs-r. Just needs some work im replacing the rods and pistons and need to get the the rust out of the cylinder walls should i just use fine sand paper? does anyone have suggestions? also what head could i use if i cant find a b17a1 head? what would be best? The block has been sitting outside for like 3 - 4 months with a trash bag over it

take the block and take it to a machine shop and get them to bore it .25 over bore which will make it 81.25 bore. stock bore on the motor is 81 mm. Sand paper will make it uneven and the rings won't seat correctly on the wall and your motor will probably burn small amounts of oil and smoke. any old B series head will work. b16,b17,b18, they will all just bolt up. And your best bet to get the rest of the parts to make that motor fit in your car is to find a smashed DA integra or one with a blown motor and buy it. It will save you a ton of time and headaches finding parts.

boring cylinders usually runs from $15-$40 a hole, and just get some oem .25 overbore p30 pistons and rods, you can get them really cheap.
