Default port & polish

Wondering what it would cost to p & p the head for a 94 civic ex. Out where I live there is only one automotive shop that sells aftermarket parts (and they suck), and there is only a couple of shops that said they could p&p. Wondering if it would be cheaper to take it to Southern Cali to have the work done

They place I plan on going said about 750. just make sure you take it to a shop that knows what they are doing. I have heard bad port jobs can actually make your engine lose power. Best of Luck

if you can't find a b16 for $1200 or less, your not looking hard enough. personnally i'd p&p it. i have a d16 and intend on making it the fastest sohc vtec there is w/o turbo or nos (which those items will come later). for a while the big thing was...how fast can a sohc be? the most hp i'v seen it one was 186 (w/o turbo, super, or nos). so go for it and be sure to reply how big your ponies grow to be.

first if you build a fast ALL MOTOR car you will have to rebuild it for Turbo APP. $$$
