Broke 1 piston, do I HAVE to replace all 4?
94 Civic EX
Stock D16z6 My compression #'s are as follows 190 190 190 80 I just pulled the #1 piston and found that it is broken (two pieces had come off in between rings). Do I HAVE to replace the other 3 pistons as well? The compression #'s are great for the other 3. Not interested in performace for this motor, just want it stock. |

Cool... Just wanted a 2nd opinion. You know how cars friggin are sometimes... lol
Oh, lastly. The rings LOOK fine can i re-use them or not? |
Re: Broke 1 piston, do I HAVE to replace all 4?
if you're looking for a quick patch, just drop the one piston and swap it out.
if you're gonna go to the trouble of tearing the whole motor down and all that, replace them all. |
Re: Broke 1 piston, do I HAVE to replace all 4?
is it worth it to tear it apart or
if you just replace the one whats wrong with doing that? |
Re: Broke 1 piston, do I HAVE to replace all 4?
I would remove all of them just to make sure the others are 100% OK. If the 3 with good compression look fine re-use them, this way you can also inspect the bearings
