springersrolla Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Can i run a 4k head on a 3k block, is it worth it apart from better valve stem seals, newer, i will recondition it, as i was planing to do to my 3k head, but it seems more logical to recondition a part and keep the car running till its ready to put on. Or should i just do it all to a 4k and save the trouble Quote
Taz_Rx Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 4k head on a 3k will drop the CR. Only old (3k big port) 3k heads have the shitty VSS. Newer 3k's like from ke30 have the same VSS as a 4k. Quote
altezzaclub Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 You could skim the 4k head to up the compression to match the 3k, but you would need to know the volume of both combustion chambers. Someone might know the 3K volume and you can measure the 4k with a burette, then calculate how much to skim off.. Quote
