Head

No this is not about what you think. I had my engine head redone (re-surfaced) and now it drives pretty rough. I had it tuned when i had my new pistons put in from an accord that were forged. Why is it running so hard, is this what i paid for? As you might know, i'm preping my car for the 150 shot project so i'm doing all the internal works. So has anyone had this done and what does it drive like? Thanks. Hey rick if you read this, I was curious if your keeping you cl, if not i'd be interested in your cl-s cams. Thanks again---

If they milled the head, they would have had to change the pistons to a different compression to keep the motor at 8.8:1.

I'm guessing that it runs rough cause youre fuel/ignition mapping is for a lower compression than what your currently running.

Could you try a higher octane gas?
