Hello everyone, I feel a little rude that my first post is asking a question, its always a little annoying when people do that, but hopefully you guys will be kind enough to help me out, I promise I will be back to contribute to the forum.
I am trying to thoroughly plan out an NA build of my D16Y8 in my 00 EJ8, and up until yesterday, I hadn't even considered touching the compression, but after messing with a couple of compression calculators it looks like I can pull something like a 10.6:1-11.0:1 CR, depending on the accuracy of these calculators, up from my stock ~9.6:1, just by tossing some PM6 pistons into my motor. Sounds like a no brainer!
The thing I am worried about is valve to piston clearance, especially since I am def getting a stage 2 Crower and am toying with the idea of going stage 3 if the outrageous lift isnt gonna cause a valve clearance problem.
SO, I am hoping you guys can help me get this question answered: What kind of valve to piston clearance will I have with PM6 pistons in a D16Y8 engine? And will it be enough to run a high lift (442/468 ) cam?
After scouring the internet for the past several hours I can't find a singe thread or article written in the past 4 years that even comes close to giving me a sound idea.
TIA!
