Hello, i have a 98 h22a4 in my civic all obd2. I bought some type S pistons and i keep hearing about different sizes. On the pistons they say P5P JO whats that mean?
What kind of rod bearing should i use? also what rings?
what precautions should i be aware of? Ive never done pistons before and this is block is funny with the FRM walls, wanna make sure i do it right.
so please any input would be great, thanks HT

 

http://www.spoonhonda.com . Read the piston selection section of the service manual.

 

I dont see what your talking about.

TTT.

so far I need

Rod bearings (brand?)

Arp Head studs

Copper spray

Piston rings (OEM?)

that all?

 

Dl the 5th gen service manual and go through that. It's got ALL the info you need.

Use OEM main and rod bearings. See service manual for choosing right color/size bearings.

Don't use head studs. You'll need to have the block's mains line honed if you want to use the.

Use OEM headgasket. Use the copper spray too if it makes you feel better.

Use only OEM rings. See section on how to choose correct size pistons and rings for your blocks.

Replace oil pump (comes with front main, and balancer seals).

Replace rear main seal.

Order parts through hondaautomotiveparts.com . They sell oem parts for 30% off retail.

 

ok, ill try that link again.
I will use all oem parts.
the copper spray was because im droping to a one layer. was goin gto seperate the oem gasket.
so i cant use ARP head studs?
thanks for info
