Looks good except for the spark plug cover. Acura part or not, it looks like it’s from Autozone. What compression pistons did you go with? ---

the manfold will be going soon, the spark plug cover will be getting re-anodized to a different color. it took 6 hours yesterday to pull out the old motor and install the new. I went with 9:1 on the pistons for the fact is I am planning on some kind of FI either turbo or supercharger. I really didnt have that much time to spend cleaning the engine bay or tranny, so that is my project for this weekend ---

b16 head flows better than a gsr - but I would assume that a type r head is equal or better than a b16, as far as flow characteristics. Time to check out honda-tech… ---

the b16 head is the same casting as the itr, but the itr is stock pnp’ed, considering he built the motor he prob did shit to the head, i hope… edit: think the itr has bigger valves too ---
