Mazda B series engines

Minor change of plans.

My head was ported, quite nicely I might add by Curtis of Motion Motorsports here in Miami. The head was sent to a machine shop here as well for a 5angle valve job cleaning and decking. Ports have been matched to the hondata gasket and the oem exhaust gasket.

Bought supertech valve springs and retainers, keeping stock valves and lifters.

Bought supertech 85mm 11:0.1 pistons to be mated to the 01 rods

Arp head and main studs
All new gaskets and acl bearings.

Should last a good amount of miles before another rebuild, not really planning on racing this engine.

I was hesitant to go with forged pistons, but I should be okay in Florida weather with letting it warm up and whatnot.

Also, I'm hoping to do some kind of coolant re route, or maybe do some reading to see if I can go with an 01+ head gasket which I heard evens out the cylinder temps.

Can't wait!
