cool link

 

haha, a 91 integra type R??? that must be a typo... the link says 97, so i assume it is. that doesn't look like a DA engine bay either.

"Extreme care was taken in the forging and machining of the connecting rods..."

itr rods are not forged. and about that "squish area" in the combustion chamber...i thought honda cylinder heads were a pent roof design, in which case, they wouldn't have a squish area. i could very well be wrong on this one tho. if i'm wrong, they would be a polyspherical design, correct? and if that were the case, they would have a squish area.

USDM ITR pistons:





i don't see a quench area. if the head were to have a quench area, the piston head would have to be designed so that the part of the head under the quench area would be flat, would it not? am i wrong? can someone with engine building experience or genuine knowledge confirm or unconfirm this?

so, YES the same when bought new, now.

 

my rod is about the same length as a gsr's .
