Is a crank girdle all that's needed to safely rev to a VTEC head's rev limit (say 8k).

Now I realize I should balance the crank, etc, but I don't have that kind of cash.

Contemplating just getting some crower cams and springs for the otherwise stock B20. Would that be better?

 

I would also like to know.

 

not needed. even at 9k+, i've have yet to see a crank move.

 

Ok, but I'm very leary about reving a stock b20 block that high...

I was referring to a crank gridle and only a crank girdle...no forged internals. Completely stock bottom end.

How about now...?

 

same answer. you're fine.
