Sup. I have a 91 integra b18a Well unfortunately I bent the valves on cylinder 3 and 4. Since I'm going to be pulling the head out I just wanted to know a couple of things. One, Can I pass smog if I rebuilt the head with aftermarket stuff like cams, springs, retainers? Or does it depend with what product I go with? This is just for my daily driver. Or do you suggest just swapping a complete head and call it a day?

 

you cant puts cams...you cant mess with timing...and your in cali too so dont do it unless you have a hook up.

 

lol stock head it is I guess.

 

Well, It really isnt all that hard to find a crooked smog place.. It will cost you about 150-250 to smog yer car tho.

Springs and retainers won't make a difference, as far as smog goes. They'll never know if you swap cams, since they don't remove the valve cover and check, as long as you can get it to run clean enough with them. Also, I believe the Skunk2 stage 1 cams are cali legal.

 

im not sure but i think the crower stage 1's are pending...but dont quote me
