    the BP 1.8 dohc one isn't, so i'm gonna guess the 1.8 sohc isn't either, but can't tell ya for sure, float the valves or break a timing belt and tell us the results.

        Damn. That's just wrong. Lol.

        I've snapped 2 belts and had no problem with putting a new one on and going. But then again I have a dohc.

            how much room?

            Thinking about shaving the head to raise the compression a bit...
            How far can I go here, without to much worries?

              i dont think any one has tried, it, and it not really a good way to bring up compression on these motor, I would :

              A consult a good machinist if your dead set on the idea

              Or

              B get miata pistons and raise the c/r to 9.5:1
