MISSED 4TH WENT TO 2ND NEED HELP

[PLANETSTEREO]

Was racing an integra ls with my 98 type r, was shifting to fourth but went to second. 4 bent valves maybe more,my question is since my head is already off is there any recommendations on hp gains from headwork.Like what kind of treatment should i give the R head to gain some more power??????

Shitty luck man, I did the same thing at the track even after 10 years beating on honda gearboxes. My R bent all the exhaust valves. It cost me over $1500 cdn to fix it and have the car running again. While the head is off you have to decide what you want to do in the future. Cams, turbo, supercharger? I just wanted mine stock and it cost $ if youre adding cams you should do the valvetrain now. If want a litttle more power you can mill the head but you have to be careful cause some cams will have clearance issues. You could port but the head already flows well. Its all up to how much $ you have and how fast you want your car to go. I figure my motor hit 12000 when I hit 2nd instead of 4th. You live you learn!

live and learn is right, i feel your pain, i had a 99 prelude before my R and did the same thing, 8grand 3rd going to forth and hit 2nd, the sound it made was painful. bent 11 valves outta 16. costed about $2200cnd

crap luck man keep us posted on what you end up doing

Consider yourself lucky. No telling the damage if one of the heads broke off. My father did the same thing on a joy ride and blew one of mine right off. I was extremely lucky not to damage the bottom end or anything else. Oh and $2200 that is CRAZY
Keep us posted!
