Derp. Best price at a local dealer I've found is a tad under $3k. Still not too shabby.
Seeing as how the only issue my engine had was a scored #4 wall, the head has about 100k miles on it but is still in excellent condition, what would you do? Buy a used motor/longblock, or a new shortblock and sell my shot shortblock?
i was unaware that the blocks ordered from honda were complete shortblocks- i always thought they were just the block. wish i knew that when i blew my motor.
If you order a new Honda engine, here's how it comes (minus oil filter and headgasket in this pic). Note the engine comes with timing chain and guides installed, so you drop your head on and she's ready. no need to pull front cover, everything is new and ready. Last time I checked (few weeks) my cost was 2800. I paid 1900 for the one in this pic, 5 or so years ago. Prices went up big time.

I didn't know they were hand built
Yes yes. Someone in my club (NYC Metro) posted actual video footage, inside the plant in japan, of them building s2ks by hand. Engines also. Search it up!
