#296240 Thanks man :) I've decided to upgrade a bit, sth like budget all motor. I'm currently in the process of buying parts, and I already got some:

B16A PR3 pistons

Used but in good condition :)

AEBS Whirlwind intake manny

Hondata thermal gasket

Probably will get some TypeR cams and aftermarket cam gears, new springs/retainers then rebuild and remap :D

#301527 I have not posted in a while, I bought a set of B18C6 cams from some dude in UK, who scammed me and sent me B18C4 ones for the humble price of 200+ GBP...Anyways, I was desparate for a day or two, then decided - I WILL buy Type R cams, and got some from a friend here in Sofia - B18C-R cams, here they are:

The irony behind the type R cams is that I actually translated the cam identification thread from FF-Squad for the Bulgarian forum I am a member of, a few months ago, and I happened to s*ck d*ck with these fake cams :D Anyways, I have ordered some new OEM retainers and a few bearings for the gearbox. I only need some piston rings and valve springs and will start the rebuild.

#308603 Thans man. Here I am, again pondering on what header should I use. I've had this 4-2-1 cheap ebay header and it definitely does the job, but I want to have something that would complement the upgrades I have done and optimize the potential of the rebuilt engine. I like the looks of RMF Narrow header, has anyone had any experience with such?

#313730 is that the packing grease on the header near the flange by the head

if it is you might want to clean it off or itll burn itself onto the header and itll be nasty when it does

#313854 I think it actually did, but stays the same, does not change. May try to clean it off with some alcohol or paint thinner.
