hello i just clayed my engine and i have clearance estimated 150 thousandths of an inch of clearance between the intake valve and the piston and about 170 thousandths between the exhaust valve and the piston, i clayed the engine with the vtec pins locked and i have b16b pistons alpha series valves and skunk2 pro series stage 2 cams im just wondering if this is enough clearance and i have a 3 layer head gasket

Google it, but it sounds ok to me. Your talking 2 tenths of an inch almost.

okay man thanks any other help would be great these measurments were alsone taken
on hondas tdc for stock cams and stuff so i need to get them degreed then come back
i might have to go with a thicker head gasket but i dont want to do it because my compression is 13.3:1 but idk we will see i guess

If this is the same car as the other posts, you need some fuel upgrades for 13:1. And don't just take my word for it. Look up clearance specs. I have a service manual, but its on my busted laptop so I can't check for you.

What fuel upgrades would it require ? Like injectors or like higher octane fuel?

Make sure you check when the engine is ice cold (:

Check clearances? The motor isn't even in the car so it's not gonna get hot
