how many people are running 8psi or so on stock blocks more or less
 

more or less as in metal 3 layer and arp headstuds. sohc zc in particular

I'm rebuilding a block and thinking about just rebuilding it stock, but measure/inspect everything and replace everything that needs to be. I've been running the sohc zc in my car now from 4-6, but I wan't take it up a little to 8-10. I'm really not addictied to boost, cause I barely get on it as is, DD, not race car.

I would say most members on this site have stock engines. You'll be fine.

but why go through a "rebuild" just to leave all the stock ---- in there. On a d-series its not worth it imho. You'll spend too much on gaskets, bearings, rings, a timing belt, etc and end up with just a stock motor that you will end up either blowing up or tearing apart again to add in forged ---- anyway. If it runs and isnt already torn apart or smoking, leave it alone.

i totally agree. anything less why bother.

I pulled the stock jdm d15b that I was pushing 15psi on for a solid year with (on a basemap), and put that motor in my dd crx. the motor is still in perfect condition.
