agreed my friend, last time i came up there i bought a b16 and left the rails at your place, they were very hard to find.

possibly, my brother is a machinist and he says that its not a good idea to mix b/c the cams waer a certain pattern in the metal and when it is changed it can cause problems, same goes for rod barings, emmino would know for sure.

my bro said line boring would make the holes bigger wich you would need different cams. im glad he know metalorgies. . .lol

when u line bore . you can make up for what you take out by lightly sanding the top half of a cam cap on a belt sander till you get back in to the specs you need. and i was always told not to mix caps when i worked for a machine shop, so why is it ok to use gsr ,b16 ,typer cams in different heads :thinking: makes you wonder

i think it comes down to keeping the same caps with the same head. i have type r cams in my b16 and have no problems. you should always try to use whatever originally came out for sure. i had an acura that we actually had some problems from that, then someone ran into it in my front yard. as far as the sanding goes i didn't ask my bro that one, makes sense though.
