Asking for some advice here for my Z20LET stage 4 tuned engine.
 
Now when engine is out I got the advice from my mechanics to honing cylinder and buy new piston and piston rings.
He usually buy JE pistons good for 125 bhp each or should I buy Z20LEH pistons ?
 
He will also balance the crankshaft.
 
Should I replace the balance shaft with replacement kit to lose weight?
Anything else now when engine is out?

or just chuck in another lot of LET pistons, new rings are cheap. Head off and bottom off the engine, no need to remove clam or engine to swap pistons. take out balancer shafts at the same time.
