another ? im about to re assemble the head and im thinking i want to gasket match it my self , but im nervouse cause the exhaust ports are so small, and they have alot of potential to be larger, butt im also thinking there like that for reason will it hurt any thing to open them up thanks

also i no the newer years of our cars is wide band type o2 does any one no if there is any dff with the stage one cam or any theroys? i mean does it give better readings when the ecu is learning/calibrating idk i have the one that came with my car 02 and i have one that came with the engine i got 05 ecu are they the same ? even if i have to go get new 02 sensor i will if its better, since i have both and caint afford anything but stock wich would u use and wich is better if at all thanks

The stock wideband 02s are $550 and I've never seen any evidence that they improve performance. It wouldn't make sense to upgrade to those, since they're equivalent to half the cost of k-pro.

I wouldn't attempt a DIY port job period, but I especially wouldn't attempt it without stand alone engine management. When you port the head you fundamentally change the flow of the engine, it can have a big impact and if you're too aggressive the FIC will not be able to adjust.

thanks for the info 550 def out of the ? i wouldnt had done it at 150, i had no idea they were that much, and thanks for the advise on the porting my friend is pressuring me to do it cause everything is out and he has the propper stuff, hes one of those do every thing your self kinda guys, but i no he dont no nothin about tunning or anything about our cars really he just offered and im a desperate fool ,so im glad i asked cause i got to work with what i got. thanks alot

also i have a ? about claying do i have to have the head gasket on and do the bolts need to be tightend to spec thanks or a quik run down would be great thanks

Ugh nothing goes as planned I keep finding my self tring to add more and more with no funds anyway I didn't get the engine together liked planed theres a couple of things I wanna do yet, and still some ? Like I read on hear there is and issue with oil psi pushing oil away from the bearings it also stated and aftermaket evaporate would take care of this?idk what this means like a catch can ? Also if what I read is true does this mean aftermarket oil pump or high flow like the kms does this make things worse or better I'm really nervous and ready to put this thing together so I've been reading alot I broke the original engine do to bearing failure and everything was stock , and cause I'll I do is auto x and road race at the same time using the same vehicle to get to the events, i no this is a budget build and mostly oem parts but I need this to be bullet proof not powerful or fast bullet proof , if any one could chime in I'd be thankful phil

i read on some build notes from some one else that for every .012 shaved or .010 shaved from the head the cam timming should be retarded 1 degree can anyone confirm this and does this apply to the d17 ? and if so wolud the factory ecu tolerate this thanks
