2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 motors / strokers
The Honda has the aluminum block... Kiggly would still be the anomoly. Could be do to huge clearances... using the oil as the cushion. :P who knows...maybe Kevin changes rod bearings after each season...

I am actually running the same clearance at Kevin on my motorMIkey

Thank you for clarifying David. If someone has a good core, sure a 2.3 is prob a preferred route and cheaper. But if you blew your stock motor I would do a 2.4 or at least a 4G64 platform, it is cheaper and I personally feel that it is a better option then a 2.3. I even sold my good 2.0 core and it paid for most of my internals like JesseB stated he did below.
I have yet to see anyone convince me that the LR2.4 is not the best DD out there. I plan to rebuild my motor soon and I absolutely love my motor but have thought about doing a 2.2 or rebuild the 2.4 with a 159mm rod and Marco's crank. idk yet but I have never drove an evo that was more fun on the streets as my motor. It is hard to one up a LR2.4 10.5:1 MIVEC Motor... That's the truth.
It is also hard to one up Kevin's 9300rpm std 2.3
In your case I would go LR2.4. My car did 480whp on 92 oct with 19psi.
You are correct. You can't really tell a difference on the dyno. Sure even the little bit of a different r/s ratio helps but it is not huge. Most of the time it is greatly exaggerated. I would like to try a 159mm build and see if there is a noticeable difference between going 150-159mm rod. It will def be able to rev higher and have less reciprocal mass due to a smaller piston. You are still limited to peak piston sped due to the 100mm crank but the better r/s ratio the lower your mean piston speed will be.

I just bought one of your 2.4 motors...so your saying i dont need a water pump spacer? or with my build I need the spacer with the stock pump?
