Thanks for the video. I’ll be removing my tired engine with over 270K for a complete rebuild. She’s been a great vehicle and my daily driver commuting to work RT 132 miles M-F...She deserves to be pampered 👍
Know its a old thread you really should look into race engineering they sell wisco brand pistons for our accords they do 85 mm..85.5.mm overbore. I believe 86mm to honda did good on the cast pistons for the f series motors but there major failure point is the drain holes for the oil control rings they allways clog up and the rings seat where they no longer spin freely also for turbo our top compression ring dont have a thick enough ring gland real easy to break the top of the pistons crown at higher boost
Yeah bro definitely wishing I went with some forged internals now that the car is ripping good. Would love you to turn up the boost s bit now haha. Definitely going that route on the next rebuild. Thanks for the advice.
Have had no problems with ring Gap that I know of. There is a bit of blowby buy I attribute that to the loose piston to walk clearance. 190k is a lot of miles and I honed the cylinder walls like real good haha. But it's still running great
@@EricspeedGaming I did exactly that. But I pieced together my own kit to make it a bit more quality instead of a cheap eBay kit. Made a video on it if you're interested

Looks amazing. Imagine the eureka after doing all that and then the engine starts
Yeah nothing like that feeling. Also not a good feeling when it doesn’t start lol
Thank man...this is gonna help me very soon when I'm putting my pistons back in my accord...
No problem good luck!

Nice man, I'm sure that rebuild is much needed at 270k! If you take good care of her, she will take good care of you!
It was non vtec so which head did you go with
is the rod piston bolt same size as the head cyclinder bolt? 14mm 12point?

How did your ring orientation you came up with work out for you? Asking for when I do mine.

Dam bro 🤯
Which brand of pistons did you use for your turbo accord? At some point I would like to set up mine for a turbo
Totally stock Pistons for now man
@@ThatAccordGuy Would you say that it is safe to use a turbo kit without building the motor?
@@EricspeedGaming I did exactly that. But I pieced together my own kit to make it a bit more quality instead of a cheap eBay kit. Made a video on it if you're interested
@@ThatAccordGuy Is it the one where it was about how you did the turbo build and you gave the list and price estimate?
@@EricspeedGaming yep that's the one
If I'm running 5psi do I need to gap my ring
I'd say probably not for just 5psi that's pretty modest. Even 10 you might get by without it but not worth the risk in my opinion.
maybe put your assembly lube in pistol pump oil can with a long spout.....for better control and placement of the oil...
Thanks for the tip!
What’s that torque wrench you have?
It's a snap-on
