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)

Re:LS/Vtech apparently not a sturdy engine.
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.

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.
