Hello i been a member here for awhile just never posted, but i been gathering parts for a build.
I have a B18B block and a B16 head.
im trying to build the motor to a 13:1 compression.

i have a shop decking and sleveing my block, and my head im gettin p&p, plained, and a 7 angle vavle job.

here is what i need some help with.

Should I get oversized vavles?
What type of cams are best?(performance wise)(when the build is done it will be driven a good bit. not daily but no just sitting)
Are skunk2 cams overrated?
What are opions of dual rate springs?

I have a ls crank that was balanced and micro polished. Is getting another crank overkill?

i just need some opions on what would make this a killer build, i no basics, not much more. lol

anything eles im forgeting let me no.

help is greatly appreciated thanks james,

 

Why 13:1 CR? Pic your cams first, then build the motor with a suitable C.R.
I'd say skip the 7 angle valve job. Most of the time a 3 angle valve job is good enough.
Who is sleeving and porting the head? Why aren't they giving you any build/parts advice?
No S2 cams are not overrated. They put in a lot of time and money into developing cam profiles that make power.
Springs should match the cams to avoid warranty issues.
OEM crank is fine.

 

thanks for the reply, ucf in carlisle pa is doing my work. They mainly do Flat heads and older motors. just trying to get on advice from the street.
