I am matching a b18a1 block with a b18c1 head. I blew it and got P73a00 Type R pistons for thier compression. Something was fishy. So I got a set of brand new OEM Type R p73A00 pistons. A rookie mistake.
haha. joke is on me, won't be the last. I have an LS crank and LS eagle rods ready to go.
I am having trouble. I have to take the B18a1 cylinders out to 81.5 to prep them for good clearance. But all the 81.5 forged pistons that have vtec valve relief seem to come in over 12:1 CR. Oh well. For some reason I thought I could match the P73a00 with the eagle rods to acheive a 11.3 CR. I wanted to stay simple and avoid the Hondata 200. I yam a laugh.
I will be listing the OEM pistons soon. Crazy. Lost my patience. Lost my mind. I wish I was on drugs. I would have an excuse and wouldn't feel this embarassment. haha.
