For those who built your own motor...how did you clock the rings? Did you clock them just like OEM Honda pistons according to the Helm's manual? Or did you just make sure not to put any gaps on the thrust surfaces?

exactly like it says in the helms...

 

That's what I have been doing on all of the motors that I have built. I just wanted to see what others are doing.

same here, according to the helms

 

What does "clocking" mean?

Where you position the rings:?

 

yes

 

Ok, then yes I followed the Helms

 

If cost was not an issue what set up would do for all motor Jun 3 setup. Itr rods and jdm stock pistons or eagle rods and weisco pistons ( i am currently in this dilema)

 

Uh, it's kind of a no brainer.

Stock or stronger/lighter aftermarket parts?

Hmm!

 

For NA, the difference isnt THAT great.

 

I did mine the same as stock..or inreferancce with the HELMS

 

Hey stupid actually it is a good question why do something if it isnt nessecary just because its aftermarket doesnt make it better so go throw that hammer on head to me ***

Kenji,

Face the gaps of the top two rings toward the exhaust side of the piston.

lol

 

to clarify for those who can't interpret my post... position the 11 o'clock and 2 o'clock ring positions facing the exhaust.
not directly AT the exhaust on top of each other.

 

I clocked the rings to helm specs.
