who's a virgin? LOL

well, after degreeing the cams and did P2V clearancing, disassembled the head once more and finally started assembling the valvetrain.

Bisi's Ti retainers and valve springs kit are snap fit!



last four to go!



getting ready to CC those chambers



prolly some steriods could help bump some compression, LOL



i would like to redo CC'ing again since my syringes are 20cc's each, quite tedious refilling each one up. got ahold of one 60cc unit but i have yet to pick it up tom night after my office works.

Nice setup so far man.

Damn Clyde. Your car and post is one of my fav on HT so far, and I must say it is going to look AWESOME with the Advans.

ef92b

many thanks for the compliments fellows! makes me more inspired.

finally did a close to accurate CC volume measurements.



sadly though, my water pump with the existing B16 motor just gave way. this thing luckily lasted since i never replaced it when i bought and installed this used motor, except for the t-belt and tensioner bearing that is.

coolant traces are evident in my cam gears and underneath the motor during initial startup. i'll replace it ASAP, hopefully before hitting up the dyno for this old motor just to take some base figures and to compare it later with this new franky.

great work man... you baller

ef92b

thanks for the kind words guys!

finally had time to replace my old water pump.

a water cooled engine indeed! LOL



anti-freeze is all over!



nasty two year old daily driven used pump. finally a brand new one in place. lubed the bolts with ARP ***'y lubricant for proper torque

ef92b

after replacing my pump, while at it, i checked my valve tappets aswell before putting the VC in place. cleaned and regapped my old plugs too.

went back to my motor project and did more work at night time.

a pic i took some time ago, comparing a VTEC(P30) HG vs. a nonVTEC(LS-PR4) HG. notice the dowel pin holes size differences of the two at the exhaust side. also the inverted oil orifice hole right at the block's intake side. that thing won't flush properly when mating a VTEC head onto a nonVTEC block using a VTEC HG.




i then took my handy dremel tool to do some work. a custom HG.



enlarged exhaust side dowel pin(GE kit) holes. fits like butter cut smooth.




i also enlarged the water jacket holes of the nonVTEC HG to match the VTEC head right off Cylinder 1. it should ensure proper water flow from block to head.



now am ready to bolt-on the head for good. all holes matched perfectly

Every day I check my recent topics and hope for an update on this build. Today was my lucky day. I am absolutely amazed by the level of detail that is going into this one. One day I would like to meet you and buy you a .

ef92b

once again, thanks for the compliments guys!

i wish i can do more given my limited time as am busy tuning other cars as well and doing some wire harness conversions for some extra fundings.

i'm hoping to swap this motor by end of next month but i still haven't received my lsd tranny bearings. my time, parts and shippings costs killin' me big time.

so as of now im trying to figure out how the pistons go....(direction...) .
I HAVE ARIAS PISTONS TOO!
i see u have your pisons with the bigger valve releifs on the exhaust side...
arent the bigger valve releifs supposed to be on the intake side?

that was my first thoughts too but i figured it out myself.

these pics could help. notice the notches on the piston crown?(intake/ bigger valve on left of pic). they were there for a reason.





there's V2V clearance. tried it in reverse? the valves were kissing each other (i didn't have a pic of it though).

gsrcrazy

i see your point.. but the thing that has me doubting is that i compared the pistons to the stock ones and it seems like if it were the opposite...

gsrcrazy

after staring at them for a while..i realized that u are correct... those are the deeer/bigger valve pockets..

my pistons have those notches on BOTH sides!! ...

but then i realized that the valve pockets on the upper side are bigger.. its kind of hard to see with just the naked eye... but if you look closely they are.

ef92b

yeah, i can see both sides are notched.

anyways, here's something i made. quick comparison. notice the dome shape. i think both our pistons are identical concerning those areas and yes, the deeper valve pockets should be the intake side too.



what about your eagle rods? how did you mount them? do they have oil holes too? just like the OEM PR4's (LS stock rods)? they must be in the intake side as well. a pic i grabbed from the helms manual.

gsrcrazy

i installed the rods in like if the stock gsr's were. Locking notch on the exhaust side.
And i noticed that valve pocket shape aswell!
thanks for pointing that out! =D

am glad you made it correctly.

otherwise you need to take another trip to your favorite machine shop, LOL
