I haven't been around much on the board, but here are some updated pics of what I've been doing. Oh yeah no bashing she's on cut springs and stock shocks, I sacrificed handling for looks only temporarily.
I also forgot to post of pics of the dual valve springs from the 2g prelude I put in.
While i was putting in my 272 cam and tuning the timing with a ge cam gear, I read the marks wrong and had it on a whole tooth advanced when I thought I was only 1 degree advanced. I had it running in my driveway for a lil while and decided it was time for a test drive. After driving it around with a crap load of bottom end I wanted to try the upper rpms. Took it up to about 4k and then I heard a real loud clinging noise almost like my engine was rattling apart. After messing around a bit to find out what it was my Dad and I were turning the crank and I noticed one valve spring was staying down while the others were going up. Once the #4 piston came all the way up it would hit the valve and make a loud pop noise. Turned out to be a bent intake valve. I took the head off of my spare motor and the head off of nancy that day. Finished putting the valve in from the spare motor and the dual valve springs on the intake side, then the next day put nancy back together and running with the 272 cam on 1 degree retarded and it's been like that ever since.
now to the pics
