little history on my car, I bought this s13 about 3 months ago from a very neglectful owner. The car is a stock ka24e with 3in straigh piping all the way through. Ran a couple compression tests and deemed the head being bad. My plan is too put a new head on the car in 2 weeks but with 3in straigt piping am i setting myself up for failure/waisting my money? I dont want to put this new head on and destroy it because of the piping I have heard many rumors of warping valves and what not. What do you guys think?
