i plan to rebuild my motor since im burning oil. burning oil so i need new piston rings. since im getting those i plan to get new pistons as well. here's my question. when i plan to get new pistons and rings. do i need to get anything else?? rods?.... it's like getting new cams where i need to bump my valve train. so if i get new pistons what else do i need to get to make my car running fine?? ran a search but couldn't find anything. and any suggestions on best daily pistons? if there is such a thing. im kinda new to the internal motor stuff.

TIA

 

bump

 

You will need new rod bearings and a new headgasket. I would also get new wrist pins. What engine do you have, and does it currently have stock pistons?

 

stock gsr. i want something like jdm itr pistons or jdm ctr pistons. or is there something better?? ive heard good things about ctrs.

 

up

 

JDM ITR pistons will put you to approximately 11.3:1 compression. JDM CTR's will put you much higher than that. I wouldn't recommend going with the CTR's unless you plan on bigger cams and appropriate valvetrain mods.

 

cool thanks. very helpful
