B20VTEC install!
Well I installed my B20VTEC this weekend! Yaaaaaa RIght?
BULLCRAP!!!!!!!!!!!
I put everything together and got it running. It runs like crap. I get white smoke every so often. I let the car idel and my friend jumped in and reved it up and I could hear a clap or something like a rock in a soda can. So I said WTF I looked at the muffler and there was nothing but gas on the floor coming out the muffler. So I took a look at the engine while at idle and I removed 3 plugs and the motor would sputter like if one of the cyliders where not working so I know 3 where good. But the one next to the distro is not firing. I changed the cable and nothing,I changed the plug and nothing. I hope there is nothing wrong with the valves. Im gonna do a comp test and see what #'s I get back. If anyone has had a problem b4 or can help please post it up. Thanks

Nice. Well I called up a machine shop that I go to and send people too all the time. I asked the guy how much to redo my valves (stock) $320 with no guides and seals. OR $550 for Crower Valve Springs and Titanium Retainers,ferrea valves,deck the head,new guides,new seals,sand blast and a 3 angle valve job. Not a bad price right?

Is that including parts? That seems more like what the parts alone would cost...$550 for springs/retainers/valves.
