which should I use? i was thinking of getting some rods and pistons from Speed Corps but didnt see any aftermarket bearing or rings....

could I still use stock ones or is there some recommended ones to use for aftermarket apps.?

 

Just use the stock bearings but obviously get new ones. The pistons should come with rings.

 

are you boosting?

 

just make sure you also have the cylinders honed before installing new pistons and rings. If not, your compression will suck

 

ok thanks.... i've rebult bottom ends for hondas and they have aftermarket rings and bearings so i didnt know if anyone made some for lancers

no boost right away....just want to build the bottom end for now to prep for boost down the road....

thanks for the info....

ill have it done as soon as i swap the pistions out.....i might have the crank mirco polished as well while im at it....honda's to me are so much easier to build lol

 

^Hondas just seem to be easier cuz they've been out since the dawn of time! and have a MUCH larger aftermarket.

What exactly is your experience in anyways? I'm building a 1.6L for boost as we speak!

 

in a honda?


lets see....i've built b series from the ground up,d series, currently builting a ZC for the wife's drag crx....i've owned many many hondas....a little too many...rebuilt bottom ends and some minor head work here and there....the zc im doing now is going to have a fully built bottom end with a micro polish crank,high compression pistons,full port and polish head,3 angle valve job, most likely skunk 2 internals on the head and maybe boost down the road....

might even push a small shot of juice through the motor...my first zc was in a 88 HF fully gutted with a 6 puck un sprung with a lightin flywheel...cheap header and intake with stock cams and internals....on slicks and a 50 shot, ran a 13.55 in a 1/4....i've done my share but trying to move on to something different cause honda's are very over rated here in AZ with the whole "if it isnt JDM, you aint ****!!!"
