Hey all,

So, if I were going to rebuild my VX civic engine, what internal mods would help mileage? I've built performance motors before, but the switch to fuel performance sometimes boggles my mind. Other than a quality rebuild, what internal mods would help? I'm figuring that anything that would help burn fuel more efficiently.

I dont want to port the heads because the velocity is probably better at the current size, but a polish may help. As well as polishing and removing hot spots in the combustion chamber.

How about slightly increasing compression? Lightened flywheel? Knife edged crank?

Your thoughts are appreciated.
