So here is my dilema...right now i have the parts and cash to finish building my head...now i can wait another 30 days and get a port n polish, or do it now and go without the port and polish.

My set up is as follows

BC4 cams
BC gears
BC valve train
BC head gasket
BC high comp valves

all on a B16b

 

Wait the 30 days.

Just wait, it will be well worth it. Hang tight good buddy.

 

Isn't the B16B head just a ported version of a B16A head?

its a mild job and i believe its just on the intake side....not 100% sure on that though..

OP...wait the 30 days....well worth it...

It comes with a minor port and polish from the factory...there are however some slight differences in the degree the valves sit at, but you are more or less correct.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by B16b-EJ8 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

Thanks for the support. I guess i've waited this long whats another 30 days right?

 

Ported from the factory or not, if you've got the cash, wait and do the port and polish.

Type R engines are ported.Not too much but a bit.I have this DVD and it shows this guy building the engine and shows his polishing the port but it doesnt show if he does it on both intake and exhaust ports.However I think i heard that once,that they only have a mild port on the intake while the exhaust ports dont have a polish.Im not 100% sure tho.
