You might want to check out the Naturally Aspirated Forum for more info on the engine.

Got any pictures of the car? I've thought of building a car for some dirt circle track, but I have enough projects going on and another race series would put a major strain on my home life.

I think you are refering to the VTEC. Read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTEC
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question229.htm

You also have to adjust the valves from time to time. Unlike most american V8s there is no hydraulic tappet between the cam & rocker arm. The rocker arm rides the cam lobe diretly and actuates the valve directly. So to account for wear you have to adjust the rockers from time to time. It's normal to hear ticking under the valve cover but if it sounds bad its time to adjust.

Can't wait to see pics. I've heard of 2nd & 3rd gens (1980s cars) being used in dirt track oval round here and in the south. They are apparently pretty good at it. Most of the four banger dirt track series have max car price or claim rules so nobody uses anything too expensive. They are all throwaway cars.

I am building a '92 'Lude for the pavement Circle track. Any chance of starting a section for Circle Track 'Ludes?

Just a thought..... Dennis
