    Hey guys -

    Just to give you a little background on myself i've got a 91 CRX Si. On my second motor. First was obviously the stock SOHC D16A6, and then i went ZC with a turbo. Anyways - i pulled my ZC and i'm awaiting my third motor - the B16A1. I thought that since i have a spare motor around there's no better way to learn the dynamics of an engine then to have hands on experience. I personally haven't done much for rebuilding. I only put a new head gasket, timing belt, water pump, etc. in my ZC all by myself (which surprisingly worked great! **pats self on back** )

    Anyways i'm going to be rebuilding my D16A6 into better then new condition hopefully. Just for shits and giggles. I was wondering what and where is a good valve spring compressor to use? If anyone has any suggestions as of tools that could make the rebuild process a little easier i'd love to hear it. I have pretty much all your standard tools and a lot of air tools. I plan on bead blasting almost everything i can to make it look new. Just thought it might be a good project. Hope you guys don't mind this isn't really integra related. I've found this and ENDYN's site to be of great value and appreciate your guys's insight on this...

    Thanks in advance...
