well a Thinner Headgasket means that the Head Is now Closer to the Block. If u have an aggressive Cam or just have some adjusted cam gears there could be Piston to valve contact

 

yeah. i understand that. jus was wondering if anyone ever had ani issue on there honda. looking to do a mild port job, thinner gasket and a mild valvetrain. something decent but not a damn race car.

well when you start to finish your build off.. best thing that you can do is clay the motor to be sure that you have good V2P clearance

 

how would you clay for vtec engagement. would you need to lock the rockers

that is correct.. lock the rocker arms together and use some modeling clay

 

is there a proper way to lock them

I run the RM M22x(12.1 lift) in my B16b with a Spoon H/G, no problems.
