OK, here's my deal:

95 LS block, LS Crank, LS Rods, ARP Rod Bolts, etc.

CTR PISTONS STD BORE

Am I going to have any problems running this with a '99 B16A2 head??? as far as the Piston smaking the Valves because CTR Pistons have HUGE Domes???

What about pump gas, Here in FL we have 93 Octane will I be OK???

Please let me know if any of you have these pistons in you LS/VTECs and let me know what you think the Compression Ratio will be.

Thanks.

 

12.2:1

Clearance should be fine.

 

SHOULD be fine???

This isn't checkers we're playing here. I need concrete YES/NO answers, this is alot of money I'm dealing with.

Someone must be using CTR STD Bore pistons in their LS/VTEC with a B16A2 head.

 

why dont you clearence yourself and tell us what size headgasket you had to use for proper clearence?

 

HAHA.

OK...how about YES. Does that make u feel better? I'm sorry my wording presented doubt.

YES YOU WILL BE FINE...even with your stock high lift b16a2 cams

I know someone who used to have an lsvtec, gsr head, milled .030'', jun3s, ctr pistons....clearance was fine.

 

Would TODA SPEC A or B cams give me any problems as far as having a High lift and longer duration of lobes???

 

I've seen setups where the clearance was OK...but in all honestly...I would clay the motor to be 100% sure.

Rod

 

Clay??? Can I get some detailed onfo on this Claying process? Or possibly a link???

 

No problem....here ya go:

What is sufficient Piston-Valve clearance???? As far as Numbers, not explaining the meaning.

 

Btw Rod, I went to C-Speed Racings CR calculator and it came out to be 12.3:1, NOW will that be safe for 93 Octane???

 

0.035''

I've always heard that c-speeds comp calculator is a bit off. Most people say that Bojangs calculator is most accurate. http://www.bojangs.com/calculator/

I think that is fine on 93 octane. Tune it. Very important.

 

thanx,

btw, Rod, please give me your thoughts on which Valvetrain to buy on my other poll:

you should be fine i am running a b18a block with ctr's against a gsr head with a 2 layer gasket and it is fine i also run pump (93 octane) with only a regulator and 255 pump

 

Thanx JDMCX
