thats suck for the guy. looks like ill be doing rods and pistons then. dose any one know what the stock pistons are good for. not looking to ask the gov for a bailout on my miata build so if i could get away with 15psi on stock pistons that would be cool.

I've heard the ring lands go, after 250hp you are on borrowed time.
Paul is running 14 or 15 psi on a stock 99. It is still holding together. If your motor is running good. I would run it 14psi with a good tune and not worry about it. When it blows, Then build the next motor.
Buy rods and pistons over time. Then push 17-18psi.
Or are you wanting to track it?

3 reasons time on my hands snow on the ground and i notice a little white smoke when i beat on it and the coolant goes low. so thats why im going to do it and im not sure when the timing belt was done. i hope that i do not find my rings are bad.
