hey so yesterday my teg and it started missing. so i got home and did a quick comp test and showed 0 on cyl 4. so i tore it down and saw this..


so now while i have it apart im ordering pistons and now valves apperently. so would this be good for valves? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW
and what are your guys advice on these?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1
thanks

 

i dunno up to u ....from ebay buy one thing they send u the other..thats what happen to me so... I wouldn't buy it

 

get something reputable, ebay is not reputable

 

looks like you may have overheated the head? I'd agree with dohcpwr, get something reputable like federal-mogul or Honda.

 

yea i dont know...i didnt overheat it but i am wondering about the color of cylinder 2&3 vavles..what could this mean? cylinder 4(the black one with chuck of valve missing) was buring alot of oil and i think that was the cause of valve failure maybe? does anyone know where i could get a good deal on oem or good quality aftermarket parts? thanks

 

i agree with everyone else. I would NOT buy used valves , why skimp right now when you have everything torn apart. You can buy a OEM set of Valves for 283.00 . Inlinefour.com has Ferrea valves for 375.00, Stainless steel racing valves for 320, they also have OMNI power valves that use the same material as oem honda for 219. Looks like its a intake valve thats broken , and they also sell ITR intake valves for 130$. If you want the b16 pistons , they sell oem honda JDM b16 SiR2 std bore pistons with rings for 340$. Id look into some of those options , hope that helps

 

also whats the highest compression ratio you reccomend i go with? ill be running premium of course and am thinking 11:1 at the least, what about 12:1 or 12.5:1? everything i have is stock except SRI, headers and exhaust.

what would you guys say about just getting a set of vavles for just that cylinder? im on a very tight budget and this was totally unexpected so yea...shitty deal.

 

ttt. whats the highest compression thats relativly safe on premium?

 

with no tuning, stay stock range. You might be able to swing 11:1.

Definately not 12-12.5:1. I say this because you say you're on a tight budget.

 

if u know a place that sells only one set of valves!

 

WTF are you talking about? You can buy individual valves if need be.

 

would it be smart to do just the one vavle? i know best thing to do would be replace them all bet expletive...is it alright if i just replace the one or even just that cylinder? whats reasonable?

 

You could just replace the damaged valve, just make sure it is replaced with an OEM valve.

What you really need to decide is how tight your budget really is. If you can swing buying pistons, extra gaskets, etc, maybe you should really be rebuilding the head vice replacing the one broken valve.

 

Call CAMP1320 and buy some Super Tech valves.

Thats what we did. And got a great price from them.

 

k..so im thinking of replacing the one valve and throw in new set of ITR pistons and rings. sound like a goos plan? also whats a good breakin procedure? ive everything from babying it to rip the **** outt of it. just like to see what you guys have used. thanks
