Mad Cow Disease

Hi, ive got a b18c-5 and have installed the toda spec Bs with +2 and -2 cam degrees. My head gasket went out yesterday, and it turns out it is a warped head. I plan on milling the head to get rid of the warpage and increase the compression. My question is what is the most I can mill the head, and is there a certain amount that you reccomend.
thanks

i would say no more than 10 thousandths and use a stock head gasket

.020" would be good, and add a Mugen gasket. You should be around 11.8:1 then


[e]Assuming you have stock internals

for some reason I am thinking .060 is the MOST you can go on the head - not necessarily what you WANT to go. I wanna say .030 off is about a 37cc chamber.

Take all of that with a grain of salt - thats just pure guesses trying to remember off the top of my head.

with those big *** cams the most you could go before valve clearance issues is about .020 thousandths.....

thats pushing it, at least for me....

good luck

Just out of curiosity. What are the causes of a warped cylinder head?

From the motor constantly overheating...

10 thou. max = factory spec tolerance

splitime

clay for clearance, then figure out how much room you have.

Went with .020, no problems.

would 10 thousandths be good for my set up?

B18 block
B16 head
CTR pistons
B16 cams (getting CTR cams soon)
