Default b16a2 sleeves with mahle low compression pistons

are my stock sleeves in my b16a2 FRM???? do i need a special type of piston?? who is running stock sleeves in their b16 with aftermarket pistons, and any feedback on mahle pistons? my local engine rebuilder phoned and asked an engine rebuilder in regina as they've done a few boosted honda's that they use mahle pistons with mahle piston rings, i dont knwo if my stock sleeves are FRM or not for me to go with the gold series pistons by them that the rings are copatible with the FRM sleeves

The b16 has cast iron sleeves.Any cast or forged piston will work.

the b series pistons from Mahle are not for FRM sleeves, they work well also, i made 460 on them in a b16, 81.5mm

Stick with OEM Honda bearings setup for the tolerances on your crank.
