do u think u could anwser the Q??? smart asses

 

Stay bleow 8400 rpms. Occasional 8900 rpm zing is okay.

LSVTEC's are kings of the street. IMO. More power sooner so you'll less likely be caught out of gear from the occasional ricer "flyby."

 

thanks rocket...so the bottom end with just rod bolts will handle 8400??

 

Yes.

What is more critical is that you have proper rod bearing clearance. Should be from 0.0018 to 0.002" Honda recommends this clearance for B18C's.

If you don't have enough clearance the big end heats up and gets blue and binds and kaboom. "Mysterious Rod Failure".

 

thanks alot rocket...ur the man

 

Also, ITR valve springs don't have enough pressure to protect the motor against mis-shifts.

 

ok thanks.....u think i would benifet from a 2nd gen IN cam and a type r EX cam???

 

Probably a little.

 

kool...thanks alot...anythin elese i should know?
