I am going to be taking my B18C R apart to change some seals out that have been causing some smoke for quite some time. Since the head is going to the machine shop to get checked out, I wouldn't want to miss this chance to upgrade my valve train. The motor is stock except for I/H/E . I have been doing some research on the portflow products and I dont know if i should bother with getting the retainers and the inner springs.
Also would it be good to do a 3 angle job on my stock valves ? what do you guys recommend ??? TIA

 

Trust me, do it while you have the opportunity.

what he said

 

Omni or rocket valvetrain. Are you sure the smoking is from seals and not rings?

 

While it is out definately go with new vavle seals and at least a 3 angle.

Also, if funds allow, it would be a perfect time to freshen up the short block.

 

i pulled the pistons out since i was already there and the rings are brand new. the sleeves look intact also, i eventually want to send the head out to be p/p but the funds are not all there for what i want., will the portflow valvetrain be an overkill on the stock setup. Or should i just give my stock ITR valves a 3 angle job, and maybe clean up the head a little until i can send the head out and get the right cams and valve train / TIA

 

what you said is exactly what I would do.
