can someone tell me what #9 does? what the parts improve and why they are needed? also, are they any good?

It's basically an overpriced engine rebuild kit.


If the pistons are good quality forged aluminiumm wisco's then it may give you a few Hp maybe 2-5.you could buy some with higher compression it could give it a little more.But if you get to high compression the engine won't even run with the stock valve train and I think you would probably run lean on fuel to.And you would need to run 93 octane all the time.

 

Basically you're replaceing the stock pistons with Wiseco Forged pistons. You have the option of choosing both compression Ratios and incrimental oversizes, depending on your requirements.
The Pistons/Rings and Pins are considered a "Piston Kit"
Basically everything else are high performance versions of additional parts required to successfully assemble everything back together.
This (these) lits are ordered only after all the block prep work is performed since they will need piston size (standard, .010 oversized etc) and main & Rod Bearing sizes (standard, .001, .002 .010 etc) to get you the correct stuff.

just when i fully understood the bolt-on's fully, now i have an entire new book to discover. thanks p_adams for the info. any links you know of that i can learn more about "block" work and prep?

Your best bet is a shop (Service/repair manual) if you're this commited to DIY. They will have all the factory specifications you need to watch for.

The short answer to "Prep Work"? Disassembling everything, Cleaning everything within an inch of it's life (boil the block etc) measuring everything and addressing any wear found (Honing/boring cylinders, regrinding the crank (if ness) to the next standard size) ordering parts and then getting very **** about putting it back together correctly.

Hey, what would you rather I do?
Dance around the topic and tell him how it's like falling off a log; or put the topic on the table so he has a better idea what's involved?

what? why not? the stock valve train would be perfectly fine with higher compression pistons if you're maintaining the stock rev limit.

The only issue the valve train would have with regards to high(er) compression pistons would be Valve/Piston clearance with the advent of a higher Dome. This would only come up for these reasons
1) Larger than stock (diameter) valves were installed
2) Higher than stock cam lift was present
3) Head had been shaved or a thinner Head gasket had been installed.

If the piston manufacturer is careful in his design, these are taken into consideration by incorporating larger than required Valve reliefs in the Piston crown.

Yes, higher octane fuel will be required to control detonation.

jacking this thread for a second.

hey P,when i get my 4dr teggy,will you be able to help me with how you've BEEN helping me already?

 

I may fret ignorance from time to time, but sure - bring it on. Just be aware, I'm rapidly loose Brain Synapses from the effects of long ago Youthful Indiscretions ; so some of my responses may elicit a "What the F**k did he just say???" response.

if all else fails,i guess i'll just get another honda. aslong as i get what i've been given ^_^
