Well to start off id like to say I just graduated lincoln Tech a few months ago and been working for BMW the entire time I was a student. Now im working at the airport. Any how I've never really built a motor other then in class and we had shop key, all data and all that. Oh and of corse we were building stock speck motors. How ever I am building a B20vtec for my daily driver and I want higher compression and buit head along with built bottom end. My question is, would it be alright using the specs found in the chilton's, Hayne's and Helms manuals? If not please lead me in the direction as to where I can find the specs for a performance built motor, which im pretty sure ill need tighter clearences then stock do to what i am building it for and what im puttin in it.

 

imho run the tight side of all honda specs if you want to run a tight "race motor".

i can get you all the documentation you need. i will assemble the engine for you as well. pm me for details

 

nah i just want to know where to find the specs. a friend is telling me the specs found in those manuals is just fine. im trying to put it together to learn and start my own assemblies.

 

Looser specs will aid in better oil flow and cooling abilities. But honda's specs are pretty damn good.

 

Yea im going to be sticking with the honda specs. maybe later i can experiment with another motor but with this one i want it to come out right since its going to be my daily driver to get to work.
