I was looking at putting 90 e pistions in to my de to get 11.1 compression. I will have a tune, 370cc injectors, and a bunch of bolt ons. I'm looking to make somewhere around 180ish to the wheels on pump gas, hopefully be just about as reliable as stock and call it a day. My current engine is from a wrecked car that had 50k on the clock, closer to 60 now. The engine runs fine and a compression test yielded close to stock numbers.
I am looking to not have to do a rebuild because the engine seems fine now I wanted to know if:
1) Can I pull the pistons out of the bottom of the engine without taking the head off?
2) If I don't take the block out for a hone will I have to use standard size pistons? I have a friend that has some RY6426-020 but those are .020 over and should not fit correct?
3) Rings, should I use just stock rings? is there some other ring type I should look into?
Thanks for the help - oh and is search down? every time I look I get back no results?
