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"....
