Little work I did on a buddies GSR last week...
Well a local guy (street racing friend) of mine had a little incident in his 98 GSR, He was rapping out 3rd gear 8200 rpms, and well uhm, shifted into 2nd gear 
heh, Said the Tach pegged out beyond 10grand, and ran a little funny afterwards.
So I took a look at it, and it seemed we just had a few bent valves, the car had a pretty bad miss.
So I talked him into some performance mod's since the head would already be off, and this would really be the time to do it.
Skunk2 Cams.. Lump Lump... :P
Skunk2 Cam Gears
Full ITR valve train setup
Even though the head only had 50k on it, the exhaust seats had some nasty pitting developing. So I talked him into a fresh valve grind.
Bling Bling sporting 3RA Surface job
Pistons were not harmed, in fact the valves were hardly bent, but enough to cause a good miss.
Yes, even jeff uses a torque wrench in some areas :P
Adjusting DOHC Vtec valves made easy... custom tools always help
Overall it turned out pretty decent, I didnt beat the ---- out of it to bad
nor did I drive it before hand. But it runs good now.

Top of 3rd to the very top of second?! Ouch. That's a damn tough motor to only have bent a few valves a bit. Is the rest of the motor stock?What kind of assembly lube do you use?
