Re: LS VTEC question
i have a built ls now i built for spraying but i sold the kit and am considering puting a b16 head on. my bottom end has a new factory oil and water pump, all new bearings, eagle h-beam rods with arp bolts and 10.5-1 probe industries forged pistons. im not worried about the reving over 7 grand those rods arnt going anywhere im worried about the lubrication for the pistons. thanks for all the opinions. any others would be appretieated.

Re: LS VTEC question
first off im not totally against the LS/VTEC conversion. i was actually considering it myself a few months back, but decided to stick with the straight LS. i was only tryin to warn that the conversion isn't a "miracle engine" it does have its weaknesses

My buddy built one before I knew him, 55K+ miles later and easily 75 passes down the 1/4 mile it finally started to have a little rod knock in it.
