Question is Im really just trying to make a reliable Ls Vtec with a budget for a daily driver no track use. Should I shotpeen the rods? Thanks guys just thought I would let you all know what ive done so far. New to Honda tech so forgive me if im in the wrong forum.

 

And you're going through all that trouble and expense?

If you want a reliable daily-driver, just leave the engine stock. No stock Honda requires shot-peened rods.

 

Yes shot-peen them, don't forget vtec oil/water pumps and timing belt.

I'm building a fully forged internal LSVTEC, and it's gonna be my daily, so don't worry about the above comment.

 

Perfect Will do!
