hello there

sorry to be asking so many questions but i need to know some more things....

what sort of pistons should i get for my D16a8 and will i need rods as well...

i figured that if i was going to do the rings i may as well get the new pistons as well....

i will need the block honed as well yeh?

BTW I DID SEARCH FOR AGES AND COULD NOT FIND WHAT I WANTED OK?

well u will need it honed if u wanna do things properly, but i think u mean boreing. find something made for a stock bore and u are fine.. i think u should learn more about pistons and rods and there benifits before u try picking some out.. search honda-tech for info.

notice that ur pistons and rods will effect the displcement and compression of ur engine, also consider this
