There a gazillion Honda's out there so they have a lot of years of "slash n' burn" to go thru. Get a honda or prelude engine, strap a turbo to it, crank it to "11".then when it blows, just steal a car, get the block and do it again.
The "pocket rocket" guys do tat all the time. You can just run one until it pukes.then get another block and do it again. Early blocks are better, even better are sports man blocks, then, SVO, A-4, R blocks and finally the newest crop of after market blocks. They made it even lighter when they went to the roller lifter blocks, by removing even more metal. The 289/302 short throw crank is near bullet-proof. I think that picture is still floating around the internet. When he took off the front cover and oil pan.the block openned up like a book. When he took off the intake he first saw the went thru the middle of the block, right down the valley. He finally decided to pull the engine and check - he thought that maybe he had spun a bearing or something. There was a story on the web of a guy that had a loss of oil pressure that he couldn't explain. Plus, the manifold, bellhousing and front cover will keep things in order until it finally lets go. the only thing that get compromised is the main oil galley.since that is inside the crankcase - you'll never notice it. When the block fails, it does it through the center of the block, there are no water jacket passaged. It usually is a case of unexplained dropping oil pressure that doesn't go away. They don't usually go out in a blaze of glory. Click to expand.After 500, especially with power adders, its a case of "when" will the block fail, not "if".
