This goes out to all you all motor junkies. Will my piston to valve clearance be alright on the following setups in a B16A, if not please explain why:

CTR pistons(SB) + CTR cams
CTR(SB) + Skunk2 S1
CTR(SB) + SKunk2 S2
CTR(SB) + Skunk2 S3
CTR(SB) + Toda A thru C

The valves will be stock, no valve job. S1 and Toda A will use ITR valve springs. Stock head gasket.

my friends car has CTR's/toda C/big valves (lsvtec), no issues about valve>piston clearance.

 

This is a real disappointment, I see all these views and only get 1 reponse. If you're thinking of giving me the search bs, "don't". I have already tried that and I haven't found what I'm looking for. All I'm asking for is a little help.

the only way to know for sure is to clay the motor. or ask someone with the exact same setup as you are looking for, not always easy

 

Has anyone ever done a similar or the exact same as one of these setups?

 

my friend had ctr's in a gsr block with a 20 thousandths mill gsr head, and jun 3's, and he never had a problem, and im running .25 over ctr pistons in an ls block with a milled gsr head and skunk stage 2's just use an oem honda head gasket and don't split it

 

You have been really helpful, if there is anyone that has done this setup with a b16a block, please post your experience. Everyone that has posted, has talked about 1.8L blocks, which are taller than the b16a. If I am wrong please correct me.

 

you should clay your motor and find out that way, its the safest way to go.

 

the only way to check your piston to valve clearence is to clay the combution chamber and messuare ti with a micrometer

 

i had a b16a, standard ctr slugs, 2 pc headgasket, and toda b's. no issues at all.

 

Finally something I want to hear. What was your CR, how much power did it make, and what times if any did you run in a quarter mile, and in what chassis? Now I know there are more out there. Please post your experience.

 

B16A JUN III cams, stock bottom- head milled .030 block decked ?- ISSUES
B20/GSR head- stock bottom, JUN III cams- Slight issue before valve reliefs enlarged.

There are lots of factors that will come into play when using high lift/duration cams and a higher compression. I know that in a GSR block with CTR pistons, and JUN III cams there would be an issue if things weren't timed correctly.

 

Anymore? C'mon guys, I'm trying to keep this topic up top and on the first page.

 

I wanted to know a similar question, b18c1 with CTRs and skunk2 stage 2s and know if the clearance was ok too ?

Sorry, didn't mean to highjack your thread....

 

At least you're keeping the hope alive along with this thread. You're gonna get more luck than me because saw several threads about you setup in particular, but very few about mine. Try search, that's where I saw those threads.
