hey :wave:

Im doing my head gasket on my car which is leaking above the b18c2 code on the engine block which is a common spot to leak.

my question is that i was just thinking while the heads off i was gunna get it machined down to run a new gasket etc buddyclub gasket am would i have to do anything else if i am changing the compression on the motor

thanks :honda:

if you are wanting to dramatically alter the compression ration of the engine, you will need to replace the pistons. Bisimoto have many options available when it comes to pistons. PM for further details

If you are going to use thinner head gasket you will need adjustable cam gears to get your timing right again. It won't be out by much but it will be out.

cb auto recently done a nice head job on a b16a head.

definately recommend

[cbauto]

yeah. what sort of head modifications are you thinking of. just HG change or modify compression?

[sammutn90]

maybe just port and polish manly and and thinking of machine the head aswell

[Super-DA9]

you will need to machine the mating surface of the head (underside). it'd not be smart to avoid this when changing the gasket.

I dunno about "just" a port and polish either, I got quoted around $1600 for that to be done to my B18C2's head.

are you upgrading camshafts?

if no, then no point.

just a quick head shade to Clarence is all you want

[sammutn90]

Yeah what mill size sould i shave the head not sure yet but it does have leaking headgasket so thats why i wanna shave the head aswell and what headgasket should i look for?

[cbauto]

just enough to get it flat.
