Will these pistons work?
I have a 1st gen b16 swapped into my hatch and about a month after I put the turbo on it started puffing a lot of smoke. So, I did a compression test and 1-3 read around 190 and #4 read just below 90. So, I pulled the head off and the #4 piston out, to find out that I was able to pull 5 chunks off of the piston between the rings. And my question is will a USDM b16 piston work on my 1st gen JDM motor or is the compression going to be different?
Thanks
Brian

usdm is pr3
89-91 jdm is pr3
if your piston reads pr3 on top, then head to ur local honda dealer and u can order one piston
if u want u can buy a set of used pistons/rods for about 50 bucks
might want to check clearances though, might need to go with .25 over pistons

I really wish I had the money for aftermarket pistons. But I kinda got screwed on money when I spent about 900 bux on new rims for my other car and then a couple days later someone stole my wallet that had about 600 bux in it from selling my old rims.
