i like that haha
get some pics guy
and sell me youer z1 head when u pull it out

It's too cold to mess with anything this week, maybe better next week.

I don't know if I can part with the Z1, I'm thinking a OEM rebuild slapped into a '88 CRX shell as a daily might be a good plan down the road

- Fri Feb 11, 2011 2:03 am #238002 nice build you got going, iv built a few of these motors and there pretty fun. another thing that wouldnt hurt is a set of arp head studs cant go wrong there... good luck with your build

Thankz Honda Power,
Yeah the ARP studs and rod bolts will be on the list. I tend to only list mostly what I have my hands on, i.e Short Ram=prolly AEM but if I run across a whale penis cheap enough then I'll go that route.
Of course I'll go ahead and get a Ebay or DC header and custom exhaust done.

I'm still looking into pistons and a cam, PG6's (75.5) are looking promising and a Delta 272 cam fits my buget as I would already have more invested in the head than I wanted to (w/ P&P, super tech springs, new oem retainers, valve job, AEM cam gear or Bisi). But who knows I could get a raise, haha yeah right.

Basically I don't want to list a bunch of crap that I never do for what ever reason, I'd rather keep it real, then we'll all be surprised in the end


Edit: The PG6's will need the valve reliefs cut, I'll have them polished or maybe coated.

- Thu Feb 17, 2011 7:07 am #239014 So Friday is the Big day to send the head off to Performance Porting, so I did a little work. I pulled the cam because it's going to be heading to Delta for a regrind.

- Thu Feb 17, 2011 7:08 am #239016 I also thought it would be a good idea to get that damn black spray paint off the head and clean it up just a little before it's sent off.






I found that my sister having 2 kids came in handy



I had put the rocker assembly back on before wrapping it up.

Now It's All Ready To Go!

- Thu Feb 17, 2011 8:38 am #239046 Nice build, You will want an adjustable cam gear or a d16y7/8 cam gear. Otherwise timing will be one tooth off, I helped a buddy put together a y7/z6 head minime. We put it in his Heavy 88 Civic Wagon with a DX Cable Transmission, He still managed to beat his Friends 91 Wagon with a B16 Swap in it. He had better tires then the B16 wagon, however he had 5-6 Cars on him. We were all very surprised to see how much quicker it was then the b16 Wagon.

When all is said and done, You should have a pretty quick setup here.

Thankz man! Yeah the adjustable gear will be listed soon
I'm still juggling pistons and a cam but it will all come together soon enough
I really need to post up my y7 head to help move things along a little bit.

good work on the diy!

I know every one likes pix so I do my best

- Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:50 am #241750 Dustin from Performance Porting was kind enough to send me some teaser pics. Enjoy







New: cam seal, valve seals, and retainers

EDIT: Added pics and sent my injectors to them today also.

- Thu Mar 03, 2011 10:44 pm #242086 Thankz! I've said that same thing before and now determination is what compels me

- Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:07 pm #242992 A few more preview shootz:



Remember this was a junkyard pulled head, and it had a couple bent valves and 2 of which had made sweet monkey love to the pistons. PPorting replaced those valves, milled .002 for flatness, and 3 angle valve job.

Great service from Dustin too, I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to get this thing back and to the next step ;)
