thats what i meant valvetrain, how are valves/retainer/springs/etc going to bump his compression ratio up?! ---

Haha, yes I do. It’s what I do when I run outa beer at school. (which is way too often) :crackup Skunk 2 offers flat faced valves for my motor. The flat valves bump the CR up by about 0.3. So putting them in my motor will give me a Cr of roughly 10.9:1. Cams and valvetrain are still a ways off though. Need to get the basic stuff done first. After the 5 lug swap it will be heading to the body shop to fix the bumpers from this summer’s accidents and then the t-belt and water pump need to be done. ---

Whoa, learn something new every day…very cool…i wish i could get low com pvalves :rofl but if i was pulling the head off/doing a bunch of work, i might as well leave it stock and build the bottom end ---

Building the bottom end of an H22 is an expencive venture. You cannot run a normal forged piston on this block. The sleeves are a special material that does not expand at the same rate as a forged piston. Creates all sorts of problems. So it’s sleeve the block or don’t run non-oem pistons. The only othert oem piston that will increase the compression is the H22 Type-S piston…which brings it to 11:1. I don’t see the point in tearing it all down, boreing and honing and all that for 0.4 more compression and no weight savings. ---

well that blows why not go with another easier/lighter platform…the h22 is a chunk isn’t it? ---

Only bout 40 lbs heavier than a b18, so no, not really a chunk. The prelude is a little heavy, but it’s not an all out race car but a street machine, so I don’t mind. ---

Haha, I wish I could have it done by spring, but thats doubtful. Paying for my education comes first. I hope to have it done by next fall though. (unless you guys want to start a ‘finish Jake’s car’ fund :tong) I’ll take you guys on (at the 518 drag meet of course :ninja), but only if you’re off the bottle K-20, lol. ---

I’m pretty sure you’ll beat me off the bottle even if I’m cammed. Lighter car, similar power. Benny will be a closer run tho. Oh, and thanks for the motor this weekend. ---
