get it milled

[v-dub]

i heard if ya mill the head a little bit you get some more compression.. is it true?? and dose it make a differance?

[NorcoAccord]

Yes it will give you a bump in compression, but IMO if its not broke don't fix it

[RiceKillinSi]

It would raise your compression a little, but I would not try it unless you are going to already have the head off for some other reason.

id probably only go .020 or .030 over on the head. there's other things you can do to improve on powr.

[Cown3d]

^agreed.
youd be spending a good portion of what you could spend on higher compression pistons doing that

[CB7lx91]

yeah man, you bet a bumpo in power and your cr raises. I had the machie shop mill my head a bit when they put new seals and did a valve job on it.

It'll also shorten the lifespan of your head. If you blow a head gasket and warp the head slightly after a mill, you won't be able to mill it again. It'll be garbage.

If you want to raise compression, get high compression pistons and do it right. If you're going to have a machine shop work on the head, get a good P&P instead. You'll get much better gains.

or a competition valve job and some bowl work. it's all about airflow, there's a lot of other things to do but i cant discuss it.

Milling the head (or top of the block) will also decrease the distance between the crank axis and camshaft axis, and this will retard the valve timing. It's not a lot and may not present any real problem on a road engine (unless you shave a lot off), but in theory it would be ideal to then fit vernier timing gears and have the valve timing carefully set up...

i had a 22re with a built head and that was it i had it mill down 0.30 put a cam and new springs and that fucker was fast for a single cab truck.. burn'm in third but all im sayin is ive had it done before but i just want to know if it dose anything to the f22's..

[deevergote]

Yes, it raises compression, as stated before. Same concept... it's an internal combustion engine. Since you ask that question, you obviously don't understand the intricacies of the process... and you clearly don't seem to care that they've been explained to you.


Also, shrink your signature. Nobody wants to see an entire page of your car every time you post.

back off dude.. its not like anyone likes seeing you pic either i fucked up on that my bad dude.. dont gotta be a bitch.. and i dont wanna here oh you gotta do this and that and blah blah blah i just want to know if its good or bad.. man you pissed me off

im not stupid man... just never worked on a honda before

[deevergote]

Gotcha. Backing off. Very sorry, sir. I don't mean to act like I run the place or anything.



And I never said you were stupid. Just that you didn't understand what was involved, and seem to have ignored what more educated people have told you. Your question was answered, and additional information was given. You basically said to all the people that took the time to give you extra information (to make life easier for you...) that they wasted their time.

[v-dub]

its not like that man.. your just making me sound stupid. speak your mind dude i dont care im not gonna argue on a computer
