Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

Rip out the pistons/rods, maybe if you're lucky they'll be eagles :-*

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

what ever they are those tops look pretty cooked. :-\

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

those look like headbolts to me

those pistns are def aftermarket though

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

yeah def. forged pistons take off the pan and see if u got some rods...yeah their just head bolts...studs are what u screw into the block and use a nut to hold down the head

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

ive pulled a bunch of heads before and ive never seen them twisted like this. and when i pulled the pan the rods looked a bit different too... im pretty sure these arent stock headstuds... but i dont know what they are, i'll pull the pan sometime soon and checkout the rods and take a picture of those as well

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

Not headstuds, headbolts. :P

I agree that the pistons look aftermarket.

Sell me the head. ;)

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

the head came with a aem cam gear, maybe it has a cam too... im pretty sure it has some rods, cuz i was driving it without the wastegate connected and no boost guage for a day, and i made atleast 6, 1st 2nd, 3rd, gear pulls... then the next day i hooked up the boost guage and went again and it went to 14-16psi at 5k... and i blew the headgasket , compression tested it and it came up great 160 - 180 across.. i think any other sohc woulda thrown a rod eh?

o yeah and are these oem headbolts? or waht type HEADBOLTS :P

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

those have weird threads on em. but they are headbolts, and my srp pistons have dish tops if that helps

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

these are high comp pistons right? cuz im gonna boost on them :-*

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

high compression pistons are usually domed. Those look like regular flat top pistons. Low compression are usually dished.

those are 10.5 compression pistons and they are a bit dished.. mine have no dish..

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

You could have had them stand up. Maybe you just damaged em doing that and they will snap later. I would pull the pan and inspect them to be sure what they are, doesn't really take much work for the reward.

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

You have to factor in other things too. I can't see someone building a turbo motor with high compression for any special reason......besides Jeff. :P

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

the threads look coarse as hell on those things

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

i don`t recall seeing any honda headbolt looks like that (the thread part)

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

i figured out what headbolts those are, and no those arent the threads LMaO, theyre TY headbolts OEM honda torque to yeild headbolts. this engine came with a AEM cam gear, and a direct port nitrous kit (or most of it) tapped into the intake manifold, i think someone was building a high comp nitrous setup. and i didnt build this engine, im just using it, it'll be dynoing soon so watch out for that suckas :P

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

those are at least 10.5:1 pistons. i have a d block with arias 10.5:1 slugs in it and it looks just like that

Re:tell me what kinda pistons and head studs these are
 

ahem, you did all by yourself Scott????
;D

jes ------ with ya man...

BUT, i did visit scott today, i just had to see this monstrosity of a D motor in person!

i came, i saw, we concoured. I also drank some beer and we got the car semi running decent again (at idle) for what the setup actualy is.

things i noticed:
-the head is likely milled (see below)
-the motor likely has a cam, it lopes like a mothersucker
-at 1000 rpms, and wont idle for CRap
-the head is super fresh with the valve cover off, someone took or was in the process of doing things right before scott aquired this motor..
-scott has shitty tiawaneese tools
-he makes some good microwave hot wings tho.. so i forgave him.

if you could only hear this thing...
and if it will only survive WED night!
