Default z6-b8 mini-me swap with Rod knock!!

Ok I finally got my hatch to crank thanks to mk here on Honda tech. I have a 92 civic hatch with a z6 mini me swap.5 speed . While cranked it makes a ticking noise and when I drive it gets faster and louder. I expect it's the lifters in the head or its my timing chain. Help.

Ok question, I have a 1992 civic cx hatch with possible rod knock so gonna change the pistons. I have a mini me swap b8

Ok question, I have a 1992 civic cx hatch with possible rod knock so gonna change the pistons. I have a mini me swap d15b8 block with z6 head. I want to know what's the best pistons for my block. I want high compression,but stay in the safe zone. I don't plan on boosting it so all motor it what I want. I've already got Brian crower retainers and springs, and ordered a skunk2 camshaft and gear. I know the d15 blocks cylinder walls are thin. Just want some ideas for the pistons.. thanks

I don't see that question in your OP. Get factory replacements.

This IS the whole post. You can be rude, or ask for help, but it's advised to not do both at the same time.

Rod knock comes from (imagine this)-- the rod bearings -- not the pistons.

For daily driving it is usually less expensive and more certain to succeed, to swap in a known good used engine than to try to rebuild it yourself.

Idk if you just edited this in or not. A PG6 or P29 piston will do it.
