sooo I pulled my head off tonight thinking it was just a head gasket and found out why my compression was ranging from 90-120, the exhaust valves are all burnt red and you can stick a finger nail in the valve seat, sooo now its time to start searching for a new head fun fun

heres some pics

hmm yeah head looks clean

With stock cams, you will be alright. The only worry is the larger combustion chamber vs the bore of the block. Some people think it will create a hot spot because of the over lap. Best case would be to get a B20 block as well, but Im going to be running my 82mm block with a B20 headgasket on the P8R head.
