Well,my mechanic seems to think that my valves or somthing is in need of adjustment,i thought it was a spun bearing or somthing,but its comming from top of motor,we checked the oil pressure,and its perfect.
Here's the problem,the instructions for adjusting the valves ect is pretty complicated,and seems to be a long job,so i was thinking about just replacing the head,what are my options in this?
If he makes the adjustments,and thats not the problems,its a bad rocker or somthing,i still have to pay for 3 hours of labor,at 60 bucks an hour,for nothing being done...so i figure replace the head...
on ebay i saw a listing (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...926598050&rd=1 ) for a b20b head,which he says will bolt directly to my b18a,he says specifically:
"B20b head, comes complete (rocker arms, cams, cam caps, bolts, valve cover, ext) an upgrade for the B18a motor in 91-93 LS integras. (the intake ports are quite a bit bigger than the b18a1 head."
Is this true,and would it provide any real gains???
Another listing for a : INTEGRA LS B18A B18B FULLY BUILT PORT AND POLISHED HEAD (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7926748575 ) says that he had all this work done,with VERY little miles on it,but he refuses to disclose any approximate shipping price,or even to reply to emails as to a price,and also he doesnt say why he removed them,what happened...Specifically he says:
"This auction is for a slightly used Integra Ls fully built port and polised b18a head. The work was done by Dh-Racing out of california. This head is fully built with custom dual valve springs and titanium retainers. The valves have been swirled for maximum performance. The port work is still very clean with almost no wear and tear. Also included in this auction is a custom teal painted valve cover. This head was used for around 1500 miles. These head just port and ploised from dh-racing reatil for around $600 not including the upgraded valve train. I am relisting this due to an unpaying bidder. My loss is your gain.I never took it to the dyno to see how much horsepower that the engine made but it had to be alot because the car pulled really hard. I will only ship to the inner 48 states. Winning bidder to pay for all shipping, handling, and processing fees. I reserve the right to cancel this and any of my auctions at anytime. Thanks for looking and bidding. Please check my other auction for another great item. If you have any questions please email me at
