Could i hot tank my b16a head with the rockers,valve springs and valve still in ?

was just wondering lol

 

it's best to do it to a bare head

 

Bare head makes for the best

 

its not necessary, to take it apart, no
i just had mine cleaned, fully assembled

 

nice, but like its not gonna break anything right ? just want to make sure

Nope.

 

It seems to me like hot-taking would totally kill your valve seals...

How much heat do your valves have to put up with in your engine at 8,000 rpms?

Or even Idle?

 

you dont technically "hot tank" aluminum anyways...
