....

then of course you need all the turbo shizz but yea, if you wanted to do the bare minimum, then just forged rods, forged pistons, and a gasket set and you would have a almost new engine lol

so is it necessary to hone and/or bore to put in forged internals?

 

[sethro_GT]

Should always hone for new rings. Bore if the new ones are too big.

 

[thecrash91]

are rings pistons? haha sorry im pretty new to engine internal parts

 

[justanothermp5]

no, rings are the things that go around the pistons to help seal the combustion chamber and scrape excess oil off the cylinder walls
there are normally 3 rings, top ring, bottom ring, and then oil ring (which consists of 2 really thin rings and an expander)

do some research and just read up about engines, there cool things to know about

 

[sethro_GT]

Often engines aren't too worn oblong that the old pistons can be cleaned up and fresh rings installed. I would slightly oversize (bore) with new pistons so the cylinders start out completely round.

The old 2.2l's on 626's and such could get rings and valve stem seals at 200k and run another 200k.

it's weird how some cars can hit record mileage on the original motors and some are on the second or third in some cases...(sadbanana)...i'm at 146k...still going strong! although i must admit, with the wear and tear my p5 gets it's starting to rattle and of course the obligatory rust ...but i'll drive her till she dies
