The thing to do is to assemble the head, block, and headgasket with the timing belt etc and check for clearance issues.

Since you've milled over a 1mm from the head, you should use clay to check your clearances. Put a thin layer (1/4" or less) of soft modelling clay on top of the piston in a layer, then assemble the head and timing belt.

Rotate the motor carefully with the crankshaft bolt and then disassemble and measure how much the clay has been crushed down to by the valves.

A minimum clearance (cold) would be around .020-.030" . Obviously, if you have contact between valves and pistons, you have a problem!

If you want to call getting from town to town ASAP in the middle of the night in deer country over some of the highest passes in the US, and some of the narrowest roads rallying, then yes, I guess I do......

when you get it let me know how it works out, was thinking about getting one myself. I heard you need the spring kit for this cam, did you get it?

i install the cam today. the car idle like crap. at low rpms the car runs a little better. at high rpms after vtec kick in is when this cam really shines. i only reved one time but the car pull harder than before .i have to wait until the cam break in, after that i will go to the dyno and set the sproket ,the fuel pressure and ignition timing,they all are at the factory settings

iwillpost the results
