Fellas,

In the relatively near future I will be replacing the rings in my high compression ka24de. I would like to know if there are any of you out there that have had any experience with doing such a thing. I'm running after market flat top pistons in the engine. I will not know specifics about any over bore info until I open it up, as I purchased the motor from an individual that didn't even know it had flat top pistons in it.

What sort of tips and/or suggestions would do you have that may help with the replacement?

Is there a brand name that you would recommend?

What about procedures that may be out of the norm that might be beneficial in the enhancement of reliability?

Or, would I be better off to have a machine shop do this for me?

Things to keep in mind:
If you post a link that I could have found with Google, more than likely I've already seen it AND I'm looking to drive conversation here...tell me what you know.


Also, I have no fear of doing the job and considering that I paid $100 for the engine I'm well ahead of the curve in relation to the monies spent

Lastly, the motor will see boost.

Thanks.
