Icon2 zc piston help

k so after a full nights work i learned that a d15b2 piston (w/ rod) will not fit onto a zc crank (46 mill rod cap onto 48 mill crank... f*ck...) so i need to go and find a piston n rod that will fit as far as oem is concerned... can anyone tell me what options do i have? i read so far that d16a6 will fit, but it has a lower cr, any pistons with a higher cr would be fun is possible

oh tru tru sry man im a zombie right now lol, its a sohc zc, block n head, i bought it off a diy-er, retard didnt peel off the old IM gasket, threw a new one on n put everything back together, i didnt notice the huge peice of gasket missing by cyl 4 and the coolant port right next to it, we fired the car out, it sucked the coolant into the cylinder n poof, white smoke, i took the motor apart n found that the rod got bent and now i need to replace it, i just need a piston (or pistons) to replace it and get the car running, its not gunna last much longer then a few weeks, just need it on the road for safty n etest, for the time being, theres a b18b waiting in the garage for later on

d16a6 uses teh same pistons as your zc, its the z6 pistons that will lower your compression unless you shave your head, there's a thread floating around here where a guy took his a6 head and mated it to a z6 block, had to shave it down and plug up the oil port on the block.

are you trying to avoid having a machine shop remove your rods? because you could pull a rod/piston out of a an 87-89 integra, they use the same rods just higher compression pistons
