Hi, i just wanted to know the process for tapping the b16 head for LSVTEC. Is it hard at all? Because my friend who's really good at swaps, even reccomends me taking it to a shop. Which i dont mind, im just curious as to what shops generally charge?

What should i tell the shop when i say i want my head tapped? And will i have to have my head resurfaced before i put it onto the LS block? tia

 

b16 pistons

 

i only have about 250 bucks right now...i dont want to do machine work thats too expensive just yet..i wanna throw the engine together first

 

I would go with CTR pistons, that what Iam planning to do any way $270 for a set

 

you will run into problems later on, with the CTR's..

stay with the pr3's..

 

CTR's are relatively high comp...not saying its too high....but its up there.

 

U could always get a GE LS/b20vtec kit if u dont wanna machine anything..

 

yeah thats the best way to do it i think
