Default Eagle Rods and Stock Pistons?

Will Eagle Rods fit on Stock Pistons? I am tryin to find decent pistons for my ZC motor. If I cant locate any I will have to buy new 89 Integra Pistons or resuse my OEM ZC pistons. Just wondering if these rods will hook up to stock pistons.

PS... Anyone know of a piston (USDM car) that could fit the DOHC ZC Motor?

Thanx... Comments and Tips are welcome.

probably because the eagle rods need a free floating wrist pin piston design.........unless you wanna spend the money having the stock pistons modified to fit.............

just buy a nice set of forged pistons. Weisco, JE or Probe

I second that, if your going as far as new rods, might as well spring for forged pistons as well.

depends if they are pressed fit rods or the pin thingie....most hondas are the pins i thought, and most eagle rods, like the h-beam are press fitted...i might have that backwards..
