- Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:49 pm #14115 what kind of paint are you painting the engine with? It's going to look 100x better

As for the head, if you're going to build it it, It can get expensive. And do you really need to dump money into a high revving valvetrain on your turbo setup? You have a t3 (I think right?) so most of your power is going to be in the usable RPM range that you already have. I remember you were having problems with blow-by from your valve cover, so at least get your valve seals checked & replaced. Maybe some oversized valves while you're at it. Honda heads are very well designed from the factory. So in your case your best bang for the buck might be found elsewhere (forged internals)

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Sat Jul 14, 2007 6:09 am #14261 Be very careful with that cam gear. The early AEMs and other 3 bolt gears are known for slipping. they dont hold all the well.

- Sun Jul 15, 2007 9:04 am #14333 Its just been known to happen. Doesnt happen all the time. I know a friend with a set of buddy clubs that did it. they have a 4 bolt design. A guy with the pimp ass old skool HKS that have a 3 bolt design havent slipped up either. Its just something to know.
