Re: That's the end of my '93 Metro.....

partsdinosaur.com He has awesome prices on his stuff. Be careful when honing. Try to keep the honing at 45-60 degrees in angle. If it's too shallow, it'll tear up the new rings pretty quick. If I were you, I'd get a rubber mallet and a small wood block. Makes removing/installing the pistons a TON easier. While you're at it, have about .010" shaved off the bottom of the head. It'll increase your compression to a still regular gas level, but give you a few extra hp, and help the fuel economy a bit.
