Last week we got the new pistons for the 4G63 and went to rebuild it.
Unfortunately, after removing the rods & incorrect pistons we measured everything in the bottom end and found issues. For one, all of the main/rod bearing clearances were out of spec. That isn't a huge deal as the engine builder used "extra clearance" bearings, so going back to a standard size bearing will fix that. The main problem is that one of the cylinder bores was totally out of round. Meaning that the block is toast and we now need a new block and machine work to rebuild it.
With that being said we'll be taking a short break on the Eclipse to work on other stuff while the machine shop gets it done.
Honda Fit upgrades coming soon :)
