CivicVTEC Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 hey everybody this is my very first honda, It's a 1997 Honda Civic EX with A D16Y8 1.6 SOHC VTEC and i'll start by saying that i love this car, but the guy i bought it off of let it get hot and it cracked the head wen i got it. Does ne body know about how much HP/TQ i'll get if i get the new head ported and polished? Don't yet know how much it'll be but if it'll get me some more power i'm all for it. Thanx!

cmgogo Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 if that even. Your better off just getting a new cam, valves, springs, and tuning it. P&P doesnt do shit on our heads, honda has very clean flowing heads from the factory. About the only thing you can do with them is port match and remove casting marks. If any porting needs to be done its in the intake manifold, not so much the head. Also NEVER polish the intake side, you want to leave it roughed up to help aid in creating a surface boundry layer. The exhaust however feel free to polish. Google "Endwyn" or "the old one" to get some pointers on it.
