Re: SV: 2.1 Liter 16v how to? Anyone done this? Would you help a brotherout!



no offense but, i beg to differ. i have seen the situation that you are 
referring to but i have done some investigating into the matter. the keey is 
in the honing; if you just throw new rings in w/out honing the cylinders 
then you run the risk of fucking up the job. ihave about 2k mies on my 
engine and i'm not consuming any oil at all and my power is fantastic.
