First time in forum, long time member...
Just got through blowing my GSR powered Civic, car missed 2nd, valves floated, piston shattered, cylinder walls busted, head is cracked, and I'm pissed off!
I want to get back on my feet ASAP, so last week I got the B20Z2 (1999 CRV) bottom end, and am ready to mate it with a B16B head (JDM Type-R), whih I really regret when I found out how little of a difference there is in the A1 and B head, and a LARGE difference in the price. I need for someone very knowledgeable and preferably with past experience to inform me about something. I need to know how much I can shave/mill the head and still have enough clearance for the valves to open without the pistons slamming into them.
I hope the B20 bottom end turns out to be a better application than the B18C1 once I tranfer all the bolt-ons and internals, thank god I wont have to wind her out to 9400 RPM's when I shift, and I hope the new clutch I bought won't slip and cause the same problems missing gears the last time. :unsure:
I really appreciate the help!
OKAY OKAY it wasn't the clutch's fault, just dont rub it in my face
