well i originally had bad valve stem seals so i changed those and the retainers, ported the head, and got it miled pretty aggressively....well as aggressively as u can without being stupid. i had it tested to see if the valves would make contact with the pistons and I have good space. there's a guy out in conyers GA that did it for me named brian

sorry about the delay man, i just recently had a baby and lost my job at the same time. there might be a bit of a wait before i get dyno'd. plus i need new o2 sensors, a new cat converter, and an idle air control sensor (im sure thats not what you actually call it)

hey guys, its been a long time and alot of stuff has gone on with me and the car. I just wanted to update whoever still remembers about what happened after i broke in that newly built 420a engine. That break-in process worked great for me. it ran so strong and it still does. the bad news is that the guy that did my engine actually cheated me and never ported my intake manifold or my tb. so the power should have been way better than it was. I did beat a civic si with decent mods by a good margin....bout 2 car legnths on a 20mph roll up to 120mph.
