I didn't say anything about cams yet.
So being knowledgeable to the game and yet being a noob at the same time. I screwed up big time when it came to cams. I order a set of Underground Racing cams and they ended up having this large ass lift (12.?mm) and long as duration (3??). With cams that large you need to check clearances and can't just "dropped them in". Then with duration that long, and stiff valve springs, you need at least an OEM timing belt (or better). So with that being said, the motor was installing. The car cranked up with no problem, but idle bad as hell (sounded like a v8). I decided to take it home, and then take it to Scotty in the morning. To bad the car didn't make it there. Actually 8miles later, the timing belt did a banana peel (thank you timing belt from a gasket kit) and I was left broke down on 400. The results were BENDING EVERY DAMN VALVE IN THE HEAD
(atleast during those 8 miles, the car ran like a champ whiled I babied it
).
So luckily, I didn't use many parts off of my old b16. So my homie, took the head off of the b16, swapped my valve train over (minus the cams), and installed my ctr cams. BAM I was back in the game with slightly lower compression, and a least aggressive set of cams. After a visit with Scotty, the results where the following:
