Stock piston on after market rods

Can I use stock Honda piston on after market rods? And should I use stock pins or after market if they work

Re: Stock piston on after market rods

why would you do that? yes you can do it but if the piston cant handle the power then the rods are useless???? do one of the two

just use stock rods and sell the aftermarket ones os buy some sweet aftermarket pistons.

hope this helps

It should just be held in with a c-clip. Take it apart and find out.

Or you can go to the dealer and buy one oem rod, that's guaranteed to work.

You would have to have the OEM piston machined to use the C clip.
