money, money, and money....oh, and a lack of knowledge...(why those DON'T do it)

when is it a good time to do it...I found it was a matter of if your build necessisitates (big cams etc.) a p&p...mine did, so I spent the money. just what i've read and been told...

see Rocket/TBone for your cam questions...

most of the power is made in the bowl and a proper valvejob, stock honda ports are very good from the factory

 

yeah you would be surprised how awesome they are cast... a good cleanup of the bowls , unless you want to spend the time and/or money to do a full p&p and are looking for that tiny edge, will be plenty sufficient

 

So really i should just have it hot tanked and no port and polish. Cause im not building a race motor, just a stock b16 block with buddy club 3+ cams and oni valve train.
