By vtec_gloucester
- Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:31 pm #5894 as all you regular members will know im replacing all 16 valves 2mo evening along with a nice service and all new gaskets.

my question is - should i run the new parts in at all before i let the heavy right foot take over???

its just my car is booked in for a rolling road day on saturday with another civic forum i use and id really like to go but... if the car aint ready for anything like that then its gunna have to be a NO NO

any help would be great :thumb:

most of the power is made in the top end. A good flowing head and a nice set of cams will get you alot of power.

dude, the bottom end didnt need rebuilding because it was fine. i bent 4 valves which is why i rebuilt the head.

plus.... this thread is 7 months old now!

i asked the question, mike answered it...

it didnt really need to be dragged back up again.
