the compression numbers you posted are fine , spec is 180 psi. putting oil into the cylinder even with good rings will raise the compression a bit.
i think the engine is fine as far as that goes.

Glad to hear it!
Always ran Chevron Supreme 94
Two weeks?? Hot damn I wish! I still have part's to buy though and lot's modify haha.
Thanks for the comment's fellas.
lol the cam is gonna be pushing the valve man.. its not messed up.
and 94 octane?? lucky
Lucky? It costs $1.50 a litre, how is that lucky! Even when I finish I won't be able to afford to drive it hah.
I've decided against getting the bisimoto valvetrain.
yeah but last time i pulled a head it must of been on tdc because all the valve were closed

Redzone tuned
tdc for me i dont think all my valves are closed.....
That is tdc, I don't think that all your valves will ever be closed at one time.. please correct me if I am wrong but even if they are it would be for a very minute time.
yea im pretty sure they never will be all completely closed at one time.
Update:
Gasket outline, and cut all the major bits off:
Cleaning it up, I didn't want all that extra crap
Masking to sandblast it(I have one at work, and it was a great way to make the metal look uniform again)
Blasted and onto painting:
Some high heat clear to protect it
Cleaned up the block/head(took a while), ARP head studs and Honda oem head gasket
Had to get rid of some material from the head intake side(to best mate with the manifold)
Pretty well finished manifold, came out clean
It was a lot of work but I'm glad I went to the trouble. I didn't want to have some hacked up manifold.
One word: EPIC
Thanks man.
So I am going to go a different route for the catch can setup by cleaning things up.
I had a choice between a 25mm or a 28mm, the hole is pretty much 26mm, so I took the 25mm and put it in the vise with a socket to spread it out enough. Bam, plugged.
So much more space behind there now!
Catch can I have to modify:
I have to work out my gauge's so I can get started on wiring and cleaning up the harness.
glad to see progress.
un-motivated!
someone make me an offer i just could not say no to.

Nice Roach! is that the OBD1 Adapter plate? looks new?
Sexyness
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
finish already!
damn that engine is clean! look good man
Thanks, for the help too
It's pretty new, bought it last year.
Thanks!
Lot's to go man.. hehfinish already!
Thanks, more to come.
Awesome work, it's members like you that keep me motivated.
Keep it up
Much thank's coming from you Pico! I hope your hatch is working out for you.
There's a lot more in store for this little hatch yet
oh so true. takes so much time to get aftermarket stuff done on these cars.
btw, what are you going to do exactly for your catch can set up? just going to vent the vc?
Put another line in for the vc, tap a hole for a vent in the catch can and add a drain. I'll also chop off that oil pipe one the pan and weld it up.
