If it runs and isnt already torn apart or smoking, leave it alone.

It's not the motor that's in the car now, its for credit for school. and actually my first rebuild. with eagle rods I'd be looking at close to $1000 with honda bearings and gaskets, about half that if I don't use them and don't bore it.... Anybody have any experience with stock pistons and beefer aftermarket forged rods ( just realalized stock rods and crank are actually forged) . though I might just go all out and just get eagles like you said, and just eat cup o noodles for the next month or so....

Re: how many people are running 8psi or so on stock blocks more or less

just looking at all the parts on the motor, general inspection, like bearing wear, micked the pistons. even though one rod was bent, not twisted and there was signs of water in the cylinder. also the fact I'm running like 6psi on the sohc zc in my car right now, I think stock block can handle boost pretty well..... decidisions

I talked to one person on another forum that was really happy with fjt's gaskets... said they looked cheap and the head gasket blew within a couple weeks, got a oem and haven't had problems since.

And all still on 93 octane pump gas.

---- taking it all apart swapping the rods, boring, and then just put stock pistons back in it.. If gunna do all that put vatara pistons in it as well.. Were doing a turbo d16 crx at our shop with eagle rods and vatara pistons shooting for 300hp or bust..
