Ok, advancing your cam gear brings the valves closer to the pistons, because you're setting them to open later right? My question is, is it possible on a B16A with CTR cams and OEM head gasket to advance them so far that they contact the pistons? Just wondering since I will be playing with this soon, and I don't want to smack the insides around.
 
you'll be fine, just don't be advancing like 10 degrees.


chances are you'll end up adjusting them max by 3 degrees.

Cool, these go + or - 10 degrees, but yea, I have only seen anyone going more than +3 a couple times.
 
yeah, 3 or 4 is like the max you'd ever want to go make power.

but with a high dome piston and poor cam settings, its VERY possible to tap a valve. thats why you clay it :)
