I thought of that also but by the time that you buy pistons, rods, valves, and might as well get springs and retainers sine your replacing valves, main/rod bearings, ARP Rod bolts and ARP head studs, which you want because its now going to be a built motor, PLUS the cost at the machine shop, your probably way past the cost of a new B20, the right one.Milling the head/block. They wont cover their mistake? Id be pissed.
he ment milling and decking to bump compression.... if i mill the head and use single layer gasket im sure my piston and valves are gonna say hello to each other :lol: im trying to work with what i got bro thats why im wondering if someone has experince with these... and if using single layer is even worth the compression bump i get?If you use a single layer gasket, make sure you get your block and head milled/decked like Brown said since the gasket is thin. I would use ARP head studs just to be safe to add extra torque on the bolts. Might be able to add more compression too if you swapped heads on it with the higher compression one instead, not sure though. I heard a lot of bad things about tiger japanese as well. Thats why they are so cheap and no one wants to pay the shipping to get it shipped back which I don't blame them. Good luck!
i rather sell this b20 then do that.... im gonna do head gasket anyways i was just wondering if single layer is the way to gomilling and decking=need to advance timing, PITA, best way to bump compression is the obvious, Pistons
