LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.

IT looks as though a ls vtech is limited in its rev capablitys and is more inclined to blow because of its bad R/s ratio (rod : stroke)

Jeff's engine looks pretty sturdy to me.

Ya i was impressed with jeffs but did you read the article? I mean it is not that the ls/vtec is bad it jsut seems that the R/S is not very ideal and therfore means higher revs come at more of a risk.

I have been hearing the same stuff about LS/vtecs. i heard they wont last past 40k. I wonder if its the same for a CRVTEC?

who cares if they only last for 30 or 40 thousand miles...---- its not like all of us are going to keep the same motor in our cars for over a year or more...hell id like to change mine to something bigger and better every year.

the CRV uses the same block as the LS, just has a bigger bore...

Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
 
no he is talking about the block only...the b20 block is the same design...just bigger....pretty much its the same outlook but in a bigger perspective dude.

Exactly, anyone who's enough into this ---- to do an LS/VTEC isnt into it for reliability. I personaly would go straight to a B20/VTEC unless you got a screaming deal on a LS block.

Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
 
me too, he's right, jeff even said it in his write up... the ls R/S isnt ideal for 8200rpm!

swap a b18c internals then? you might has well just get a gsr motor if you are really worried about that crap.
