bottom end done - time to build the head??? valvetrain
heres some pics of my valves, i think two are messed up?? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=883762
bottom end is 2.0L 84mm GSR Darton sleeved, endyn 9:1 pistons, manley rods.
New cams isn't in my budget for this year. Should I upgrade my valvetrain? springs, retainers, valves, valve seals...?? Right now as it sits it's just stock GSR head. If iam not getting cams should i just wait off to upgrade the other stuff?

Re: (dunkd)
I assume with that compression ratio that you are planning on going turbo. In that case I would ABSOLUTELY upgrade your valvetrain, with valves, springs, and retainers. There is really no need for aftermarket cams, I have a buddy making 400whp untuned on GSR cams, however if you wanna rev high, which you'll need if you're running a big turbo, valves, springs, and retainers, is a must.

I am in the process of building a short block. I also plan on keeping the head stock, boositng it, see what numbers I can get then I am going to pull off the head and rebuild it. Valves, springs, retainers, port and polish and maybe some type r cams. I think if your going to do it, you might as well hold off and do it all at once.
