I'm getting a motor from a fellow h-t'er and I started to wonder if I'll run into any problems with the pistons slapping the valves. The setup is:

JDM b16a with stock bottom end
jun IIIs and complete ITR valvetrain
head milled .030 and a 1 layer headgasket

I was thinking about maybe pulling the head and adding at least a 2 layer hg. Will I be OK or should I go ahead and do it while the motor is out of the car?

that combonation is the problem right there...

 

So I should go ahead and do it? Anyone have experience with a milled head?

 

ive had plenty of milled heads.

for the jun 3's DO NOT advance or retard the gears at all.
even if you add a full stock gasket. the valves will rub.

 

So I should go ahead and change the head gasket? The motor has JUN cam gears so I guess they're useless. I think the JDM B16 pistons are kinda flat, that's why I thought I might not run into any problems.

 

Bump and also I guess the cam gears aren't usless because I have to reset the cam timing since it'll be off a little. to me

 

b16a block, ctr pistons, spoon 2 layer headgasket, toda b's...no problems, even at 0,0.

 

Is your head milled?

 

clay the motor to make sure.
