www.inlinefour.com has oem jdm pistons for $220.
as far as piston to wall clearences you really should have the block honed and slight bored .10 over bore should be good. just let the machine shop know what size piston that you are using before hand!!
what Cams are you planning to use???
I already have the pistons they were really cheap (£20 / $40ish??) from a friend and only have 50k miles on them, im really broke after alot of bad luck from a turbo build....
So im just trying to put it back together with a cheap n/a build and thought for that money it was better to use than the stock b16 pistons, otherwise i wud have bought the b16b pistons.
The new block i have only has 60k miles on it, i'd rather not have it bore'd out if poss as its obv extra ££££.
I have already got a full gasket/seal kit for it too and new mains as ill be swapping the crank from my original block.
So will the itr pistons fit the eagle rods ok?
