no... absolutely not... the springs are assembled, compressed and still in working order. all 16 look just as they did when i put the head on this motor and took it off the B16B...and all have shitloads of spring pressure still...

So what are the plans for it?

Re: turbohf is back in the game with a turbo Honda..***FUCK FUCK DROPPED A VALVE
 

plans for what? the head that came off the B16B is the one that is pictured, it was on the B16A... and the B16B is forsale and hopefully sold so i can buy some new pistons...

i WILL be putting all the valvetrain from the old head into the new one.


oh and btw they are NOT Omni-Power springs...or so i was told. they are Rocket Motorsports Gen1 springs...


found a head, he wants more than i want to pay...
found pistons, retail is a bitch...
valves? i still dont know what the ---- im gonna do about valves...


Honda Bulletin/Newsletter:
"...A slightly bent valve flexes each time the valve opens and closes. This repeated flexing can eventually break the head off of the valve and cause severe damage."
yeah, no ---- huh? so i really think that this is just a problem of a previously ever so slightly bent valve...

run ITR valves again? run standard PR3 valves? run some aftermarket valves?... and i hear more shitty things about aftermarket ones than OEM...



oh yeah... rockers...

yeah? WTF... its on EVERY SINGLE ROCKER... VTEC/Secondary/Primary.... same spot all the way across... intake and exhaust... no other real signs of wear that are out of the normal... i dont really see anything that matches on the cams...

both times installing the head (B16A and B16B) and cam swap i have used engine assembly lube all over everything. and Mobil 1 after "break in"....

I told everyone going through this, mine wre WAY worse, completely gouged. Mobil 1 is ----. Royal purple saved my valvetrain..... at only a buck more a qt its worth it.

think of your rockers in this test.


---- completely solved my issue.

Re: turbohf is back in the game with a turbo Honda..***FUCK FUCK DROPPED A VALVE
 

yeah but im not so sure its an oil issue at this moment... the 'grove' is only about a 1mm wide...

but maybe i will make the switch to RP... but i buy MB1 at walmart for 24bucks for 5qts. last time i checked RP was like 7.99qt...

Re: turbohf is back in the game with a turbo Honda..***FUCK FUCK DROPPED A VALVE***
 

IDK man.. That oil is ------- amazing....


Mobile 1 scored pretty bad in that test...




It sure helped me out.
