Re: puttin the bitch back together, tips welcome
if their the hastings rings that came with the pistons, i think my end gap was .016-.018" Just use the honda specs for end gap, thats what i did. All mine checked out ok though (because were are using stock bore with the vitaras)
on a side note, did you check your piston to wall clearance. Im curious to see how it compares with mine.
if you dont know how to check, flip the piston upsidown in the bore and slip a feeler gauge inbetween the thrust side and the bore. Mine was .002 right at the service limit

when you install the mains bolts and rod bolts make sure to lube the bottom of the head of the bolt (the flange) so that friction is taken away when tourqing down and you'll get a more accurate reading/trq.
