ARP'd the bitch!

Did some highway testing with the ARP and new OEM head gasket, pulls like a freight train now and no more pushing coolant out the reservoir.

 

i did the same thing. but i also had my head resurfaced and cleaned. you really should do that as long as it hasnt been resurfaced before. or at least have te machine shop check it for straightness.

 

Judging by the way the edges of the holes for the oil and coolant passages looked, it's been resurfaced before... that's why I didn't. I just cleaned it up really good myself.

 

oh i also forgot to mention i sprayed a light coat of copper spray on the gasket.

You will regret that soon.

 

yeah true should get it checked but the car is his daily driver.

Good job should hold well i think the main problem is the ignorance towards Block gaurds.

Im running 9-10psi on the street now and i do over 1500km a week and my coolant goes no were also spiking 1450 egt's

 

good luck man
i put in arp;s recently as well after my stock head bolts lifted

the plague of the sohc

OT whats your total timing at 10psi ??
what kinda fuel management are you using ??

 

Looks good, but you have only solved part of the problem. When The head lift the first time it may have warped. You should have had the head checked atleast cause mind did(warped about .004"). also from what I have gathered...Y8's need alot less timing than Z6's. Head lifting and H.G problem are more common with Y8's. I run 20 degree's total timing at 11 psi on my Z6 and planning on running 17 degree's at 15-16 psi. Also forgot to mention..I sunk my G.E block guard almost an inch below the deck. Good luck.

 

I don't know what the total timing is unless someone can tell me how to view the maps without the Rom editor or how to find out through the Hondalogger.

On purpose???

 

i need to do this for my d16y8 ! anyone got any pointers?!

 

open your bin in hondata and take a screen shot of your low and high cam timing

timing is a bigger issue for us y8 guys then headlifting i think

but then agian the head lifting could be caused by our timing as well

 

Need the romeditor to open it, don't I?

 

i do not believe that the head lifting has anything to do with the head bolts/studs.

it looks to be more of an issue with timing.

my 10.5:1 mini me on 10psi ate 2 head gaskets. after the second i pulled the head and checked both it and block for warpage. nothing

bolted it back up with new oem honda tty head bolts, at stock tq specs, and put it back on the dyno.
made some changed to the timing maps (pulled a couple deg, and ran it a little leaner) and have had no issues since then, and my power is off a couple hp.
i have run it on 12psi a few times and still no issues.

timing is the issues.

 

what does the timing on the distrubitor have to be to run 10psi? 14 degrees or less?

 

was this using your p2pbin on uberdata ?

 

ZeroDaze, what retard per lb of boost are you running? Or are you running a step retard?

 

Send the file to baconstrip@insightbb.com and I'll post screen shots.

Not uberdata, Hondata S200B with datalogging.

Thanks for the offer, but I have to get the file off the chip first somehow.
