Wuts up guys, i own a civic eg hatch with a swapped in b16a2, and about a week ago i spun a rod bearing out at langley speedway (Wacky Wed.), and im looking for suggestions on wut would be a decent set of internals to buy for my motor. the crankshat is still in good condition so i only need connecting rods and pistons. hit me up if you got some pointers

u want all motor im guessing?
cheap way another set of b16 rods with some oem replacement type r pistons
better way eagle rods with somethin like 12.5:1 wiseco pistons
i would do somthing to the head while your at it like cams valve springs valves ect

yeah ive been told to do something with the cams and vavles since the head is already off and stuff but im not tryin to spend like a grand on just one part right now

diggity dave

ive built a few motors and the bigggggggggest thing ive learned is to do it right the first time buy what u want and do while ur in there jus my .02

true true.
Quick question though, is it possible for me to knock in/out the piston pin so i can put another piston on the connecting rod or do i have to take it somewhere to get them put together? (since every set i look at they all seem to come seperate)

you can pull the wrist pins out yerself.. take the c clips out of either side of the actual wrist pin itself and it'll push out then reverse process to install.

Stock pistons used press pins, not c clips or spiral locks. If you get aftermarket pistons/rods then you can put them together yourself. Most all aftermarket pistons are not made with press fit pins anymore.

i was referring to aftermarktet parts

Well you had me confused since you were telling him how to remove wrist pins when he does not have aftermarket pistons. I was just clarifying it for him
