is a valvetrain upgrade necessary if i run civic type r cams for my b16 with stock valvetrain. do i need to do a valve adjustment... if so can i install the cams and drive easy with them (not going into vtec) and take them to a shop to get adjusted cause i tried to do one once and i couldn't really tell if the feeler gauge felt tighter or not.

 

i'd say upgrade the valve train to nothing big like jun or toda..but maybe liek and ITR or CTR valvetrain.

Hey what to you knwo i happen to have valve spring's and retainer's. PM if your interested.

 

you really dont need an valve train upgrade. though a valve adjust should be performed after installing the cams. i would reccomend a valvetrain upgrade if u plan to add aggresive cams in the future. dont rev past 8200.
