Re: Forged Rod Question
 

sorry, no ridge as in no sharp points sticking out from the notches and touching the rods. It all must be smooth.

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

actually i meant no ridges like in the bore...i rushed it back in the day and it left a tiny ridge that the piston skirt hit :-X

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

I was being serious, just remember how you took it apart, make sure you get the proper machine work done by a good shop.

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

So, just make sure the whole cylinder is nice and smooth from top to bottom and correctly honed.

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

Yep get a helms manual and get the block decked, bored perhaps and smooth that crank!Tons of beaingss fail beacause of a crank not being balanced.

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

no need to deck a honda block unless something went horribly wrong imo

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

I sent my d16 block out to a respectible shop around town and had them notch, deck and hone the cylenders to fit my new forged pistons. IT all cost about 150.

A few things that Im wondering about in this thread is, Polishing a d16 crank? Ive read that this really isnt nessisary on a hond crank, expecially a d series which wont be wound up past 7500.

As for the decking a honda block, Ive learned that the two middle cylinders tend to "sink" a little from all the heat cycles. corrrect me if Im wrong, this is what I read in honda tuning.

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

So a closed deck Honda block's middle two cylinders would sink? Damn....

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

I was talking about a stock d16 open deck block's middle cylinders sinking. Not a closed deck.

Re: Forged Rod Question
 

Bah, it wasn't that bad. :P I guess it was enough to notice it, but still....

You are talking about the pistons you sold me, right?

EDIT: If so, why did you notch the block with the I-beams? Just for the extra clearance?
