Well I guess it's time

[hondarider552]

Got the heads back today, got home and put on intake manifolds and bagged/tagged parts.


Went to work and used the parts washer with a shopping cart full of parts

Off to the machine shop tomorrow to drop parts off and check in on the bottom end.

Bought a set of stock injectors, will be sending them out to Exergy in the next few weeks.

2nd Cp3 is coming from Cali as well. Getting :happy2:

Can't wait to see this thing run. Need to talk to you about going lower with my truck.

 

[hondarider552]

I was told to use .060 for intake and .075 for exhaust on clearances to piston from the shop that's assembling my shortblock, does that sound about right? Said they talked to Lorenzo @ Socal for clarification, but just wanted to run it by the members here..


Quick run down on the block/heads..

Heads got a valvejob, milled .010 and valves recessed same amount with Hamilton springs

Block was decked .006 from some hot spots found in machining.

Pistons were cut by SoCal .010 and delipped.

Using LML C headgaskets.


From the little I Know about the measuring system and engines, I am positive that I wont have any piston to valve clearance issues.

your good the machine shop should have measured piston pretrusion after they assembled it to give you what gasket you needed for the heads id ask but you should be just fine

 

[hondarider552]

Stock protrusion is .014 mine was .010 deck was cut .006. Using C thick head gasket. Should be fine. Piston to wall clearance was on the very high end of spec, which is max of .0035 balance took 3250 grams of bob weight. Pick it up next Friday

Some pics from today. Stopped by for a few hours this morning, helped assemble the main caps F&R covers and water pump. Just need to put the upper & lower pans on and I can go pick up the shortblock up next weekend after work.

Big thanks to Tom for finding this for me :hug: "finding compression ratio"

[hondarider552]

So, using Guy's calculator and my sub par math skills(counting on finger kinda stuff ) I came up with 17.1 CR for my engine for the work that was done.

edit, maybe I did it wrong. Stock piston is 42cc bowl, head is 4cc. Every .010 off the top is .7cc, plus delip to 2.50"


Im thinking to hard

What kind of pistons did you get? That sounds pretty high.
