I'm Pretty New to this so here goes nothing.
I have a 2000 Honda accord that's getting high up their in miles like 270xxx with a bad piston ring (burns oil like crazy). so with that ive decided to start a rebuild on it but not with all stock oem parts.
so far I have f23a1 block, and f23a1 Crank. I was planning on buy a k20 86.5mm with a comp of 9.8:1. will that work? any input is appreciated. I know ill have to bore my block .5mm (link) https://www.kseriesparts.com/cr/WIS-...BxMaAvr98P8HAQ
then the rods I'm going to use if all works well is the H Beam rods. link http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-ACURA-2-3L-F23A1-A7-ACCORD-CL-H-BEAM-ROD-5-551-4PCS-SET-W-ARP-BOLTS-/400949825808?hash=item5d5a78d110:g:4tUAAOSwDk5TwXt P&vxp=mtr

In the end I want to build a reliable car with a big chance of adding a turbo. let me know what you guys think.

I'll leave to others to evaluate tech specs etc. (I'm a Generation 5 (1994) and Gen 8 (2009) owner.
I'll just say, if you're a 'nights and weekend' guy like me, I'd find a local machine shop to do the valve lapping, cylinder boring, honing, decking, etc. Very specialized equipment, and very easy to do permanent damage by screwing this up.
I just did an engine rebuild on the '94, and I'm generally pretty stubborn about doing things myself. But I got a pro to do those parts of the job, and I was happy to pay for that work- and very happy with the results.
Just my $0.02

Oh no doubt man. I'll be having a machine shop do all the boring and honing and what knot. Thanks for the advice tho.

If you can find jdm f23a pistons it has a cr of 9.8 already, no shenanigans to make them work in your motor.

The only problem is that I haven't found any that are Forged or of a stronger material. I'm trying to build a stronger engine so that it'll last me longer and with the possibility of turboing it. If you know of any sites that do I would like to very much know but so far I've only really heard that the k20 Pistons would fit the Accord. (givin the same bore size).

Update: I have found some f23a1 Pistons but they are not Forged. They are hypereutectic has anyone have experience with these types of Pistons? Can the handle low boost like 8lb my hp goals are around 250.

Save yourself a lot of coin and just start with a JDM F23A. It has the compression ratio you are looking for, and you can buy that motor for probably less than just the machine work.
