I'd like to raise the compression on my motor but I don't want to spend $$$ on custom pistons. The car is cheap and so am I.
I've heard of shaving the head but I don't know if it's possible on this car with valve clearance and the timing belt length.
Anyone gone this route?
Maybe pistons can be used from another Honda, or crank/rods to make a stroker (stroking a motor raises the compression with the same pistons)
I've heard of people using Vitara pistons in Civics to drop the compression for high-boost applications, I'm trying to go the other way because the car is carbed
