I can't seem to find anyone who has used the squishies in a type 4. There have been numerous type 1 applications. I know that Jake tried them without much success but that sounds like it was a cam related issue.
One big thing that keeps the type 4 from being a modern 2-valve pushrod engine is the chamber design. It would seem that the super squish piston, if it works as advertised, would address that. I'd love to have an engine that runs on 87 octane California gas but reliably makes 1HP per cubic inch in a daily driver. |

It's hard to argue with modern technology. If I were to start all over again I'd seriously consider a Honda. As it is I've made my choice and I'm not in a position to have a second play car. Besides, front wheel drive just isn't the same fun!
You have obviously gotten good results with Larry's technology as applied to your Honda (by the way, for those that aren't familiar with Larry Widmer and his company Endyn, they specialize in performance Honda parts, among other things). Why don't you recommend the squishies for type 4 applications? Coupled with the right cam it they would seem to offer a lot of benefits. |
