i was wondering if anyone has or knows about anyone putting CTR pistions in a B18 block and using a GSR head?? cause i wanna to do it but i know GSR heads are alot smaller then b16 heads and i was wondering if the pistons would smack the head or the valves? please let me know!

planned set up:
ls block
ctr pistons on ls rods
gsr head w/ CTR cams (both)
type r valve springs

Smaller then a B16 head? The combustion chambers on the GSR head is larger in comparison to that of a B16 head. Hence why you get lower compression when using a B18C head. I am running CTR pistons in my B17 using a B16 head with no problems. I would still recommend that you clay the engine to check for tollerances. I did and all looked fine.

 

should work out just fine...many others have done this...like stated above it is best to clay just to be safe

 

What exactly is "claying" an engine? I've heard the term but never got an explanation of what exactly it is.

put the crack pipe down

The gsr combustion chamber is smaller than the b16. Why did you put a b16 head on your b17? The heads are the same!

 

Hey guys, he's probably just getting into the whole tuning thing... But just remember dude, Almost everything on the integra motors are bigger than the civic motors... GSR, type R, and LS are 1.8 liter motors, whereas the civic si, even type R is 1.6 liter. Just think bigger is better!

As far as claying, I don't know the whole process, but basically, when installing new pistons to have the head clearanced, you lightly cover the top of each piston with molding clay, and install the head back on the car, but put a little bit of oil on the face of the valves, so the clay doesn't stick on the valves when they go up. obviously, don't even think about putting the motor in the car and trying it out to see if it runs. You go crank the motor a couple of times by hand, most of the time, you do this with everything out of the car. When you go through the motions a couple times, take the head back off and check how deep the indents are in the clay from the valves and such. From there, I have no clue what the fluck you do, I just remember watching this whole process on Hot Rod Tv this last weekend! Hope this all helps

 

aight guys thanxs for the info
