i was thinking of shaving the head on my wifes motor it's a b18b1...
I currently have the head dismantaled for a valve job... and i thought what the heck lets get a little power out of it.. what is a good thickness to shave with out doing any damage.. ???
Any info
thanks Tony......

 

 

haha

 

You'll need to list more then what you have to help us give you advice.

 

theres nothing done to the motor at all it's just a stock b18b1 out of a 96 LS integra

 

There is really nothing to gain for surfacing the head down on a stock LS. You will just end up having to buy adjustable cam gears to get the timing right.

Any time I have a head off of an engine I get it surfaced, just enough to get it perfect again.

 

so i shaved it anyway i took 20 thousands off... my boss did some caculations and he came up with a half a point of compression and a 3% to 5% horse power gain ...

 

the gain is only going to be found with tunning and adj cam gears
but it will raise compression
