I have a B16 a that I'm in the process of building. The head is off and at the machine shop for P+P, matching and a 3 angle valve job. I'm looking at the Skunk 2 stage 2 cams with high compression valves, springs and retainers. Heres where it gets tricky, If i run stock pistons, with 10:2:1 and a Mugen head gasket which will bump it to 10:6:1, will it clear the piston head and cumbustion chamber? Second, if I rum a CTR 10:8:1 WITH the Mugen Gasket, will it still clear? And would the power be that more drastic going with a CTR piston. I think I've mentioned everything, any questions, please ask. Any knowledge would be appreciated.

 

The only clearance problem you might have would be in the overlap stage, which should not be a problem at all with your current plan.

 

Thanks for the reply, I know it's a pretty big request. So even if I run the 11:2:1 comp. I should still be good?

 

You should be fine. However with the stage 2's, skunk recommends to not separate the individual cam timings by more than 2 degrees, or the valves can hit each other.
