which companies make pistons that can be used on stock rods? im trying to do a low cost rebuild on my b16 bottom end to get me on the road, so just doing the bare minimum of bearings/rings/pistons. thanks for any info.

 

mint b16 shortblock for sale 63k, needs head, umm to ur Q: i think u can use any aftermarket if i were u id use ctr pistons bumps cr up to 10.8 i beleive correct if im wrong

 

thanks for the offer but i'm just going to go ahead and rebuild it just to know that it's brand new so i wont have problems later. i was looking into CTR's but was thinking of some aftermarket options too. i think which ones you can/cant use depends on what kind of wrist pin they take?

 

Well its not the pistons fault, you need to get your small rod end slightly bored to fit a floating wrist pin.
