sorry im a newb but what would be better to do bottem end stuff first or do cams and valves first or will it not matter?
thanks.

 

What motor is this? What is your overall goal for the motor?

If you only want a mild set of cams, and maybe an intake manifold, then it would be less important to build the bottom end. If you are trying to build the motor for high compression, forced induction, or to handle nitrous then build up the bottom end. Ultimately, you will have to build the bottom, and top end for the best possible power.

 

oh sry i forgot to state the specifics its a b18c1 i already have skunk2 intake mani and some other stuff done to it im thinking of getting buddyclub spec 3 cams if that helps.

 

If you are looking at those cams, then do your head first. The BC3's will accommodate most any compression ratio. Eventually you can do the bottom end, just be ready for some good power.

 

thanks alot i prciate the advice. would u reccomend getting dual spring valve springs and titanium retainers for those cams? and also do u think getting some flat head valves would be worth it cause i know those would raise the comp ratio a lil bit?
thanks

 

go ahead and get the vlave springs and retainers. flat head valve would do fine any compression ratio raise is good alsong as your not planning on goin turbo later on.........which you should.
