My 89 crx should be crvtec equipped in about a month as soon as I recieve my new water pump, timing belt, rod bearings and R cams. Also, I need a tranny and axles. Why? Do you have questions?

Ditto, head goes out tomorrow for a port and polish job and the bottom end will be balanced by the end of the week hopefully.

I can answer any questions as well.

are you getting the head chambers opened up to suit the 84mm bore?

are these technically called the quench areas?

leave the chambers on the head alone when it comes to matching the cylinder aperture - according to Tom Fujita of Portflow fame.....

did he say why? I know you'll lose about 0.4 compression, as they say, but if one is going to use higher comp pistons, i understood that deshrouding the valves was good.

yes, it does not seem to affect (improve) combustion any, although obviously he does a great job on the bowl work.........he will do it but does not recommend it as it surprisingly does not seem to affect performance other than not losing compression as you suggest....that came up because I had thought of just the same thing and he advised me so - going CRVTEC within this next month I hope.

well, sounds like some good advice from an experienced engine builder. Did he give you any recomendations for safe crvtec redlines with the stock bottom end?
