Sup all,

Did a compression test on my plant and its not well. cyl #4 is at 75!! I pulled my pistons today and found the the ring land is cracked on #4 and #3. So I'm considering slapping in a set up forged pistons and rods at the moment. My question is, If I were to stick with stock bore and change my pistons, rods, connecting rod bearings, main bearings, and do slight hone on the cylinder walls, would this be sufficient?? would I have to rebalance my bottom end? I know I should do a complete build(ie machine shop) however I need to get my car on the road as soon as possible. Any info would help!!

I would say that'd be fine. That's basically all I did with my rebuild and it's been fine for thousands of miles.

yea just run a hone through it. i deally you want to take it to a machine shop and have them hone it to the piston specs. but just check what the clearances are and you might be okay.

i did exactly what you have described and honed the block while still in the car. havent had any issues so far.

Needs rebalenced.
Big rods, different pistons on stock crank ? The "bob weight" is different meaning that the old rotating ***. was lighter basiclly.

That's IMO. I'm the honda guy with low compression turbo, what do it know ?
