What do you think an F23 block could safely rev to? without being touched?

i'm hoping about 7500...and if so...I'll be starting a new project with my spare block

 

i remember someone talking about the f23 having a bad rod/stroke ratio for high revs. im not too positive

 

well, no one knows the length of the rod...so dunno how I could figure that out

 

You are crazy. Honda put a fuel-cut at ~6500 for a reason. Valves probably wont float until high RPMs, but I think your connecting rods and wrist pins will eventually fail if you raise or defeat the factory fuel-cut and rev to even 7000 often.
Like accord94dx said the F-motors have a real bad rod/stroke ratio.

 

um yeah, you would not want to rev past 6500 regardless of head build as the rod ratio is so shitty you would crack a cylinder b/c the side loading is so much

 

ummm. yea i rev mine to 7100 quite frequently, i have never bounced off the rev limiter and have no internal probs what so ever, but then again i don't really care now cause my h22 is on the way.

 

Seeing as all F-series motors have a 6500 RPM rev-limit, I don't see how you can be hitting 7100.

 

FM

 

sorry to tell ya this but apparently mine doesn't. redline on mine starts at 7000 the rev-limiter kicks in at 7300. go check your manual.

 

FM? What's FM?

 

F-cking Miracle.

 

do i need to scan my manual and post it in here to prove it....

 

You have an Accord, which on the tach, the red zone does not begin until 7000 RPM? please take a picture of that. I've never seen or heard of any USDM Accord having higher than a 6250~6500 factory redline.

 

Maybe he has a magic car. Like my magic dash clock!

oops my bad starts at 6500 still doesn't keep me from goin into 7100, and the rev-limiter doesn't kick in til 7300

 

Tachs may be off by 200-800 rpm.

 

I hate to say it, but I don't think I've ever been wrong about anything on this board. If anyone has ever found me to be wrong, please let me know!

 

Wow, bold words there. You may be right, but still, I've never heard you be so **** sure.

 

lmfao....lets see what ya'll pull outa your *** next.

 

well ****...that sucks

 

btw: if ANYONE knows the rod length...please let me know...

 

 

Give Dave a break. He meant it in a factual way, not arogantly. It basically came out wrong.

 

Ummm Gennady, people are gonna say you're swinging from my sack.

I should have said:
"I know this may come across as arrogant, and maybe i am, but to the best of my knowledge I haven't given any misinformation on the board. If I'm not sure about something, I won't say it, or I'll say I'm unsure. If anyone is aware of me giving misinformation, please let me know because I surely want to be corrected. I would be hate to be giving incorrect advise. Thanks."
