For those of you not taking using someone locally, how are you shipping the motor? Seems like that would be fairly expensive to do, no?

It's probably not as bad as you think, crate it up, send it LTL via UPS freight or any other carrier, depending on the distance you could expect a couple hundred dollar bucks. In my experience anyway. (this is shipping via a company's loading dock. I have no experience with home pickup)

Thanks Everyone! i dont know if that made it easier or harder but ill
work with it.
See everyone at mid ohio with some sort of motor!
I suggest also talking to Steve Colletti in dayton. Link
He's built pro honda motors for about 20 years. Also he can do any hondata and dyno work you need in his shop. A big plus is that he can help you with intake/filter and exhaust stuff which is as important for horsepower as the actual motor work. He does my tuning and I found 7 ho in the air filter/big tube combination he suggested. He's good.
I'll second the Tom Blaney motor work. I was ready to freshen my motor a season ago and the cylinder tests said don't bother. That's after about 4 seasons on the motor.

+ another for Colletti. I worked for him when he had his shop in NY and can say that he is an excellent diagnostician, thorough , and open minded. I remember when he got his first dyno in NY and his delight in discovering that several "givens" about horsepower just did not stand up to facts.
He used to be something of a Toyota guy as well and ran a ITC Corolla in the NARRC series with more success than anything with such crude beginnings should have ever had.

I just got back from the 4 hour round trip to my engine machine shop I use. I have had nothing but good work done by him so even when we both moved away from each other I still bring my work to him.
Also shipping can be worked around, and yes.. it is still not cheap. However, hopefully this is a one time expense every 3-5 years or so. So in the grand scheme of things.. it is really not that big of deal.
