You'll need the G16B 16v pistons.

sounds like you just need a die grinder to me or maybe even a 4inch with a half worn blade.

im thinking the big end bearing is shot but i know nothing about engines so its oly a guess. Can this be fixed thought the sump with the engine still in the car?

yup, i rebuilt my zook engine while it was still in the car, new rings and bearings.
as long as the crank aint too bad u can just change them from in the car.

The mains don't wear as bad as they are bigger. You can just change the lower mains as they will be the loaded/worn ones.
