looking at ls vtec theres really only a few things i can think of that are "bad" compared to normal vtec engines...
1. no oil squirters
2. no girdle
3. no balanced crank
4. lower RS ratio
but when looking ppl try to say yeah you cant rev to 8,000 on lsv because of the RS ratio. well wehn i look its 1.54 for ls block and 1.58 for c1 block. that doesnt seem like much of a big deal at all...i hear about ppl saying yeah the pistons will be pushed into the cyl wall and cause it to oval out, yeah that sounds realistic...sike...id assume that at most the rings would start to ware out no ovaling of the cyl wall, and id assume that would only happen after lots and lotsof revving well on over the 8000prm range.
id like some views on the ls vtec. as far as RS ratio
as far as just shot peen rods, new type r style pistons, rod bolts and new bearings what is the problem with revving to 8000rpm reliably? any input on this?
thank you
