you can use the rods but they must be bushed to accept the smaller wrist pin. and yes removing those lines would cause problems. leave them on there.

 

I have always bypassed those coolant lines and never had a problem.

LS rods also have to be shaved down on the sides and the blocks must be notched for them to clear.

 

how do i block off the lines?

 

Find where the water enters the lines from the block and where it goes back into the block after passing through the throttle body...and just run a hose from the point before the throttle body to the point after. I know I seen a diagram floating around here before. It is called a throttle body coolant bypass.

Why do you want to do this?

 

+1 on bypassing the lines, my hatch hasnt had them for years and even starting up in 35 degree weather in spring hill its fine

but honda did put them there for a reason, and there is no performance gain really, if the car is stock leave em. I did it just to clean up that area

 

people do it to take them off to keep heat away it.

 

is there any other little tricks i can do to my motor that people wont be able to see?
