we couldn't tune it becouse of water inside exhoust, after couple minutes it started to smoke white (not blue) we took head and saw this:

I had the same issue on a LS/Vtec with no miles on it full rebuild turned out to the the bores were a bit over sized for the pistons and the piston rings expanded more than they were supposed to and caused this. No I am building a GS-R. you could bore it out and get bigger pistons to fit it and make sure your piston rings are properly gaped and clocked. GL

0.0035 seems a little tight for cp pistons. what kind of power were you putting down?
