Alright im gettin my seal replaced cuz my gsr smokes really bad in vtec and i was just wondering if replacing the seal would give my car a better time at tha track cuz i feel like my car should run faster then 14.5.... and i got ctr piston with crower springs and retainers and crower intake camshaft and ctr exhaust camshaft and aem cams and slightly port and polished head.... I think the smoke is bogging my car down what do u honda ppl think?

valve seals or rings just wear and tear.. and valve adjustment.. 14.5 sounds about right tho depending on the setup..

I was running 14.1 (bad suspension, slightly worn tires, 3rd gear grind) with a 96 spec ITR in a 92 hatch.

I believe you can get in the high 13's with your setup.

Smoking in vtec generally means your rings are worn, which is more than likely your problem.

hrm even if i checked the compression...? Each piston came out to be around 270-260 psi.... Still bad rings?
