I am just in the process of getting all the parts for the top end of my bnr32 rb26. The head is of the car and is going to get some light clean up work done. I am going with HKS step 2 270/10.2 cams step 2 HKS springs, HKS guides and retainers. I am alos installing a slightly thicker HKS head gasket to drop the compression ratio slightly. Is there anything else I should look at getting done in the top end?

The car will see mostly circuit work and I will most likely run trust T618z on it. Bottom end is all taken care of. Sos is the fuel, water and oil systems.

Also I was comparing the prices of JUN and HKS gear and they work out to be pretty much thesame. I know it is very much a personal preference sort of thing but would any of you choose one over the other and for what reasons? Both are available as complete kits. with only the head gasket being a seperate buy.

Thank you all for your non stop help.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
