Re: what happens when you do this (advanracing62)

This is what happened to my motor... There wasn't a piston to valve issue, but one of the valves did break off and rattle aroud for about 10 seconds... Regardless... Result is the same...

Re: what happens when you do this (92CIVICCX)

thats makes sense!!! but can you return pistions after theyhave been pressed. heres the deal i got jdm b16 pistons on the b16 rods. im going to put them onmy LS rods. that will cost 75 bucs , if i clay the motor and the results are bad, that another 75 bux 150. i know its notalot of money but hey thats 75 bux that could go to my gas tank,tires,shifter

that's dumb- 75 you have to spend to get the rods/pistons together, IF things don't work out then it's 75 to take it apart?! OK I guess I'll buy that- but I'm thinking that 75 to remove pistons that won't work in your setup is a hell of a lot less expensive than a new head,valves, pistons, rods, block... well you get the idea! There is nothing more imortant the having a safe motor

Re: what happens when you do this (sander)
