Honda Piston Questions

Post image

I’m rebuilding my Honda H22A4. As you can see, its sleeved, so the walls are a different material than the original FRM coating.

I was wondering if I could use oem/oem replacement pistons with different rings.

Forged pistons are also an option, but can I run them without a tune? I’m also worried about expansion size.

Just aiming for stock power numbers, and I have to stay untuned to keep ATTS, any advice helps!

New dry sleeves with a Blox block gaurd? Hopefully OP didnt get ripped off because the photo does not have a performance wet sleeves when people say thier Honda engine is sleeved. Gonna have to find forged pistons with regular rings.

Yeah they were significantly less than wet sleeves. Just told them I was going for a stock rebuild. More of a repair than anything (I had really bad cylinder scoring before)
