Recommendations for a local Machine Shop

Well John and I both thought he said forged pistons on 1g rods.

The factory mitsu pistons are much weaker than the rods, so he should be just fine on 1g rods. I am just not a fan on spending money on used rods w/o replacing everything that is serviceable on them.

I don't know. For some reason I thought he was saying forged pistons. The last time someone asked about using a stock mitsu piston was so long ago...

Whatever. I don't really see the point of even bothering to put 2g pistons on 1g rods. If your stock motor is good, use it. If your stock motor isn't good, go with forged internals.


This isn't like the 3000gt's where the only rod option that is worth a shit is $1100

All that being said, Andrew...any machine shop with 1/2 a brain can follow the instructions on vfaq.com. I would shop around. I personally do not use the carquests, napa's, and red roosters for anything more than just flywheel machining (and that is rarely) as I have seen my fair share of mess-ups from "machine operators" at parts stores.
