Pins and reamer ordered.
Just for interest, what size are the pistons? I have seen Honda pistons mentioned in the Forum but never taken any notice, because that is "racing boys stuff" and I just do "standard stuff"!

Honda pistons although high quality were never ideal because the compression height is too short meaning that compromises were made, the top and bottom of the block was skimmed, top of crankcase skimmed, .010” off all 3 surfaces and often no block to crankcase gasket.
No need to go to all that trouble now as slipper piston are available from Tony Betts, these are good for road/ standard engines as well as racing.Available sizes 56 through to 57.75mm, fully floating or clamp type pins either type pin are .5” diameter.
What type rods do you have? Are you the Simon who has a Cambridge special?
