Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
hmm i have barely used forged srp pistons with brand new je proseal rings. Pistons are 10:1 b16 pistons but fit the b18a/b fine and yield about a 9.4:1 compression ratio. Also have arp rod bolts, clevite 77 rod bearings, mr.gasket stock 3 layer head gasket, and a goodyear gatorback timing belt. But another guy has first claim to the pistons and rings, just waiting to hear back from him within the next couple days. (want $250 for the pistons and rings -- rings alone were $80, and I bought the pistons used for 220)

Example...I'm building an ls/vtec using my b16 stock pistons. Granted the head accounts for almost an extra point, but I will be very close to the 12:1 mark in my b18 block.
