ive looked and found that some 4a or 4agze pistons will work, or with modification.. well does anyone have 1st hand experience on which one fits and what special you need to do to make them work. i would rather buy these than pay for customs.

if the block is scratched a bit,and needs to be bored out a tad to remove the scratches, can you get thicker rings, or do you need larger pistons.

well for my app. i have a stock 7afe that was pulled from a wreck at 80k miles.. so the block shouldnt need any work, i am getting the head port& polished, port matching etc. my worry is i dont want to put it back together to warp another piston or have the rings screw me.. and if im doing the pistions, i want to make sure that there not going cause my stock rods to snap or warp either.


what companys carry gze pistons "off the shelf"
(hoping i can get dealer cost on them)

Ok,

So thats the problem is, that the Stock pins are presured (so they are little bit bigger and they float in the rod) and GZE pins are locked (so they are little bit smaller, and they ment to float in the piston)???

My friend in his civic changed from stock pistons to forged SRP pistons, and these SRP pistons came with different pin (locking pin), and he hade any problems changing from one to another. So i think there wount be any problems changing pistons in our engine too.. If you have time, just wait and let me solve this problem, cuz after my car gets back from bodyshop (hope to get it by the end of NEXT week) i will pull my engine out, and start working. So i will know everything in details.
