Default Rocket's Back in Da HizzaY

Rocket is back. Y'all can thank, Blake Barr, 98vtec.

Gonna try me best to help people here with Honda- and 4-valve engine-related topics. Obviously, I am not going to give away top-level, leading-edge secrets, but there is so much misinformation and "bro-science" here that some straight-shooting basic information and principles will help people from getting scammed and hurting their wallets and social status.

Never forget this about making power.

Rule 1: The engine builder is responsible for making power--not the trick camshafts, pistons, cylinder head or headers--IT'S THE ENGINE BUILDER.

My observation: beginners building their own engines always break Rule 1.

Unless you got an engine builder that regularly makes top power day-in and day-out, you are not going to make top-power.

With that said, your chances, now, of making better power have just increased.

BOO-yauh-KA

Is there anyone else who was banned before who deserves another chance? I'm trying to right the wrongs that happened in the past and I'm hoping I do not regret it.
