Gsr rebuild TECH help

[toonz]

Plain and simple would it be safe to run pr3 pistons in a gsr motor with stock valves, springs, retainers, and cams. Thanks

Yes, just don't try to rev it out real high without doing valvesprings and retainers. It will get you higher compression without causing any piston to valve clearance problems unless your head has been milled a fairly large amount. You will see less benefit from doing this than you will with a good set of cams, a GOOD header, intake, exhaust etc. All of that stuff should be done first unless you are just having a problem with smoking from the rings and are going to have to take it down anyway. If the engine is fine, not using any oil, or smoking and you are just doing it for a modification, this is not the best place to start.

yeah I have the aebs intake manifold, headers, and exhaust and before I broke it down it was blowing smoke but only after vtec comes on
