[lewd lude lover]

i have got a range of 'engine cleaning' products and I'm going to force feed each and every one down the inside, upside, underside and roundside of the damn thing. i will advise on the effectivness of each as I go.


If its carbon build up then I'm hoping i can win. I'll let you know.

fair enough mate, just see alot of people say "oh just take the head and sump off pop out the pistons and change the rings then simply put it all back together" its actually a fairly big job!

I know it's a big job, that's why I paid an expert to do it

Not got much time so I'll keep this short

DO NOT use anything other than Honda OEM rings on Honda OEM pistons - anything else is just rubbish quite frankly. Yes Honda OEM (Riken or Tokai) rings are expensive but they are the bext quality you will buy end of, full stop, nuff said !!!!!!!

There is alot more to simply re-ringing than meets the eye - if not done properly you may as well have just left it alone in the first place !!
I'll not go into detail but there is correct piston prep, cylinder wall prep, correct gapping, correct fitment etc etc etc.
This is why it's not a "cheap" job to do, because it is time consuming to do it properly.

exactly is why im saving up for the proper job.

i'll give it a chemical bath or two first just for luck but a proper job is the only job worth doing (paying for )
