i just put together one of those motors! i used a 92 civic cx 1.5 bottom end and put a 98 1.6 vtec head and intake on it. i used a 97 ex tranny also for the better gearing. the car is much faster! the cx 1.5 lower end has flat top pistons, while the 1.6 vtec engines have dished pistons with a 9.6 cr
i figure the flat tops would yeild a 10-10.2 cr???????
it took me a little bit of playing with the timing to get it to stop pinging. runs real good now!

are you running an automatic or 5spd? I've found on several sites the fact that the auto cannot sustain more than 10-20 hp over stock. It will last about 2 months with the 50+ hp, or about 6 mos with some internal parts upgrades and cooling. Also, mini-meturbodx is right. It does have some very weak rods.
