Ive got a b18b with a b16a head with blox dual springs, titanium retainers, and Blox HSL cams. Now i was hearing that the Stock LS pistons have very small valve relief spots to begin with. Now my question is, would i be fine with puting my cams in or would the valves hit the pistons? yes...no...?

Any suggestions?

 

Lift and Duration of cam will help you out.

As long as you using stock LS pistons you'll be ok.

 

Yea the whole prob, i HEARD from a couple sources saying the LS pistons dont have the valve spots for cams because its not used to the whole vtec ish, anyways thanks.

 

playing the guessing game isn't gonna work...only real way to find out is to degree the cams in and clay the motor

 

Well i dont have the head on yet, i want to get what i need to fix the problem before it happens, the link i posted above has the degree

 

If you are using stock LS pistons when you don't have to worry about valve reliefs. If you had ctr pistons that would be a different story. That blox cam you posted isn't aggressive enough to worry about it. But if you really worried about it then clay the motor.

 

Cool thanks, if i did want to upgrade to forged pistons, what exactly would i look for then?
