Crane has all kinds of crazy grinds for the 4G63, but most of them require some work to make sure the retainers don't smash into the valve seals/valve guides and the valves into the pistons.

Indeed. Your cam isn't "hardcore" until your worried about putting retainers into seals

.
And valves into pistons.

When people are cracking blocks, then you know the engine is going about as far as it can in a streetable form. 4g64's seem to be worse, and it makes sense because the block is thinner because of the bigger bores.

Read the new issue of D-Sport for a nice article about long versus short rod applied to Dart block Honda engines. The results are not what you'd expect. And they got a hell of a lot more difference than Hot Rod did doing the same test on a couple of V8's. Rod ratio doesn't seem to mean dick on anything but paper.
