Changing pistons question.
Hey.
Well I have this problem with making huge blue smoke during 5000+ RPM in my 96 sir-g. (even in neutral)
The oil smoking is so bad, that I lose somewhere between 2-3mm oil level on the dipstick in a drive which last an hour where as 10mins of it consist of vtec.
There is no blue smoke during idle or startup so I've discluded valve stems.
I've checked the PCV and it seems to work fine.
Two things left is piston rings and gasket.
Since I am in the near future going poor mans type R, I was thinking instead of replacing the rings, I might as well replace the pistons to. 13010-P73-J00 .
Now my question is.
Will these fit my block (plug and play) or do I need to hone it?
Please correct me if I've been wrong on the stuff.
Thanks.

It is recommended you hone each time you replace pistons regardless of what you are using. Whether those will fit depends on whether there was previous work done or not.
Ah okay! Thanks for your quick reply.
And no as far as I know, the engine is complete stock. The only tuning it has from it's previous owner is a mugen twin loop exhaust.
