Well, one thing we have noticed on the 7thgen heads we have, is that the valve guides are pretty worn on most of these set-ups. We think it may have to do with the 1.9 ratio, which opens and slams these valves shut pretty aggressively. We are going to begin to address this shortly. We are not sure what we have as far as options, but I will keep the crowd posted.

lol a Dezod crate motor would be sick. I would buy one if it was the right price. But in laymans terms, what does this mean? Dezods got so much going on with the IM and throttle body and all. What else could possibly happen for d17?

If you want us to come with a crate motor. Buy a long block or short block, send it to us, and give us a budget and a list of parts you want put in. We will go until we meet your budget.


Realisitically, depending on how much accessories and parts you wanted in the motor, we could feasibilly do one for a couple of thousand and be ready to handle 350+HP easily. The parts kill you more than the labor in these cases.

I doubt $4500+ unless you wanted some insane race set-up able to handle 40+ PSI.

Rep Power: 257

I wonder if just adding lash caps on the valve stems would help. That would be the easiest if the wear was on the stem. I have been dabbling in the idea of prototyping a stronger rocker assembly with corrected goemetry but I havent got there yet, once it becomes an issue I will try something out. Dezod, are the exhaust and intake ratios different?? At first glance it looks that way.

adding a lash cap will help. I was looking on a site i can't rember which one but all the K20 and the old civic motor like the B16 have caps but not the D17. Someone need to design one or a complete different set up for are cars

I bet they do, gerry.
It's obvious of this problem, all you have to do is listen to how loud the head is, you can hear the tapping, pretty annoying, lol.

 
Rep Power: 296

yeah mines super loud, hahaha everyone always asks if I need a valve adjustment.

 
Rep Power: 296

might be able to find some of the same size. Id be wiiling to try em if I can get some. Anyone know the stem size off hand?? I have stock valves somewhere I could find and measure.

I scanned in a few pages from the honda bible.. hopefully this helps? check the .pdf

Sorry to go OT, but Gerry, get me a fdm fabtech design for my car already!
