Is there any benefit...

Well I can't come up with the money right now to do both, getting the cb7 up and running again would be in the 3-4 month down the road range, setting money aside / buying parts along the way. Well my parents have 4k invested in the cb, and I have about the same.

You have 8k "invested" into your Accord. Yet it is not running right now? Is that the same one in your sig?

Yes its the same one as in the sig, and it runs perfect, other then the noise from the ROD/WRISTPIN KNOCK when it goes over 2600 rpm, gets loudest at 3200, and gets faster as I rev, without any significant loss in power. Oh and the thunk it makes on startup. I parked it to prevent any further damage. I was hoping its because i need my valve-lash adjusted since I just put in brand new Bisi Pro Race Springs when I refurbished the head 3k miles, which was a month ago.

So how is 8k invested in this car and it has a rod knock?

[cloudasc]

Because its still the original block with 188k miles on it. Half of that investment has just been in shop labor. Its also been a culmination over the last 3 years and 70k miles. Just read my MRT, you'll understand afterwards.

Johnl, raise the compression of the engine with no other mods would be pointless

It won't be pointless, but it won't be very cost effective if you're tearing the engine apart specifically to do it.

Maybe with a tune for the compensation of 91 or 93 octane that he would have to be using after the bump in compression, don't just raise the compression of the engine without telling the engine what to do with it.

Raising the CR will increase torque at all rpm with no other changes other than requiring a higher octane fuel. You won't need to "compensate" the tune specifically for the different octane because you are using the increased octane purely because to prevent detonation of the the fuel. This isn't to imply that you might not be able to tweak a bit more power by tweaking the parameters of the tune.

Its not about offending the transmission, its about if I upped the compression, the automatic prevents me from tuning the motor properly... but I just learned from Boost_Lee that he originally boosted his auto using "a chipped manual p06, just plugged the tcu in, ran fine, no cel's/codes, on uberdata 1.66" so hope is not lost.
