ok, for my LSVTEC i was told to go w/ b16a2 pistons as they'd fit in w/out any modification to anything, and decent compression for daily driving and for long trips.. however i was also told to use ARP rod bolts as well.
i was told i need to get the rods resized w/ this. so what i need to know is if someone can take me step by step through the process of working w/ ARP rod bolts... such things as:
what size ARP rod bolts, i was told to go w/ the 8mm, correct?
what exactly is rod resizing, and is it necessary?
what all machining needs to be done?
is there any way i will be just fine w/out getting rods resized or using a different type of bolt?
and any other thing that can help.
im not looking for big HP, just a simple LSVTEC w/ some bolt ons, and not looking to rev too high. but i want it done right. thank you!
p.s., i seached and read some amazing articles on all this but never quite found the answers to these, so all help is more than appreciated
