Re: sohc HX vs VX (Honda-Hooligan)
The VX has an EXTREMELY small combustion chamber...that I dont think is supposed to be used for any application other than with the stock pistons to save gas. Even with the huge crater pistons (shown below), the compression is still 9.2:1...stick with the HX

vx is low compression. 92 hp
pistons are doomed in..
SUPER GOOD GAS In them.
i believe the lobs on the cam are diff than the z6
smaller i think and then theres 1 big 1.

The VX motor is NOT low compression. The compression is 9.2:1, the same as the Z6. However, the Z6 has very slightly dished in pistons, so that would mean that the VX has a crazy small *** combustion chamber.

the pistons on the vx are doomed in...
and the manifold and fuel rail are way smaller than the z6 making this engine economy. i know because i have a vx i just swapped out.
by the way im selling the VX head and tranny.
PM me if intersted.

If you have it laying around why not going and taking some pictures of the combustion chamber as requested?
