tried searching no results but i am running a b18b motor in my civic and i have another motor i am in the process of tearing down, my question is are the Ls pistons 81mm? i did alittle research and i found that the b16 and the b17 and the gsr and type r ( the other forum) said those motors pistons were 81mm but never said ls size, now i klnow i should say the ls is 81mm but i dont want to guess.?. and if i buy arias 9:1 pistons 81mm size should i just get my cyclinders honed and cleaned up? if anyone has had there bottom end done peice by peice about how much did it cost , im keeping myself on a budget because i dont need a 600hp street car it would be nice tho but if anyone could answer my question with out flaming that would be great. also i do not plan on having my crank blueprinted and balanced because i talked to some guys at inlinepro and they said they have rarely ever had to balance a crankshaft and also have heard the stock honda cranks are onbe of the best do you guys agree??
