yeah..thanks.. well not really to the machine shop..but taking those damn piston pin swirls off!! lol..they are a pain in the *** =D ... but after the fist one i put them all in like nothing. I cant imagine taking them off!!!

 

you mean the spiro locks? LOL yeah, i can imagine. it's a PITA to remove them! that's why i made 100% sure am installing them pistons correctly.



there's a nice tool for this infact but damn expensive!

hey...check this out.

Just got an E-mail from Arias:
"The intake valve relieves are under "ARIAS", when you look in the
underside
of the pistons, the name ARIAS is engraved on the forging, the side
where
ARIAS is located will be the side with the intake valve relieves."

i just had to confirm!! because i was scared!! ;D

Dude!!! i took my oil pan off!! and my arias logo is on the EXHAUST SIDE!!

check this out aswell...tell me what you think.

 

damn!!! i'm a newb!

i believe mine's inverted as well

thanks for the heads up!

 

wow..i've been waiting for you to get online!!
im about to completely install my engine in a couple of hours..but for some reason this was bothering me.. so i kept searching and searching...... and i finally found this link...
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=871322&page=1

 

but now am totally lost since the intake side has deeper valve reliefs



if this pic is true, narrow intake skirt vs. wider exhaust skirt, them i have to redo all the stuff then

 

check this out..from that same thread i found..


UPDATE: e-mail

"If you measure the vertical depth they will be deeper.
The exhaust relieves have a 15° angle on them.
Once again, the valves that appear to be closest to the edge are the exhaust valve relieves."

yea.. i am completely satisfied that this is how they go... you could actually feel the bigger valve pockets (reliefs) from under the piston! lol

i think that to the naked eye... the ex. valve reliefs seem bigger because they have more of an angle to them... not necesaraly deeper.. like it says in the email.

yup!

just went over the thread you posted while am looking at my piston pics (high resolution) and seems that you are definetely right. thank God i haven't completed mine yet.

seems like i need to visit my favorite machine shop next weekend.

 

at least i'll have a chance to have a look at the piston coated skirts once more! LOL

btw, what's your piston to wall clearance? am at 0.002" as per Arias specs.
