SiColin Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Mine are burnt up and the car is smoking quit a bit. I don't have the tools to do this on my own or the time. I've already talked to slowmo but I was trying to see if there is any other shops out there that would be willing to work on a turbo civic. Since I have jdm pistons I will be able to supply all the parts needed such as rings, head gasket, valve cover gasket, arp head bolts(might as well upgrade while the heads off) and whatever else to make things go smooth. I will be keeping the stock bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
