so i swapped the head for a d16z6 today, compression is 210 across all four, spark knock gone! just alittle smoke hopefully just coolant and oil burning off the inside of the header. im going to drive it for a bit tonight and see how it goes.

yeah the block is completley stock, im not sure if the block was ever milled though and i talked to my friend i got the head from and as far as he knows the head was never milled either. im going to look more into the block tomorrow morning for signs of being removed and sent to a machine shop...
