i have a stock b16a and im boosting ti and looking to drop the compression in the motor some for detonation and other reasons. is .72'' thickness too thick or just right?

as you know the b16acompression is 10:4:1 im not looking to run a huge ammount of boost maybe 8-10psi.

also im looking to replace some bolts, do you think that replacing the rod bolts,main bolts and headstuds with arp is worth the money ?

 

do you mean .072

 

That should put you around 9.2/9.3:1 compression and yes some ARP headstuds while its apart are a good investment.

 

yea i meant .072'' is that the thickest u can go? or is trhere bigger? if theres thicker does anyone have a link to larger ive looked and found .072 i seen one on ebay that was .078''

 

just got my .051" thick from cometic... it should drop my b16b to 9.6:1...will let you know how it is when i get it running in a few weeks...
