I have two std rb25 blocks with one of them comp 155 across all except for cyl 6 which has a stuffed ring. Is it possible to take the whole piston assemble from cyl 6 on tge other block and just stick it in with no machining or anything.

You can but....

The best way to do it is by pullng all of the pistons out out the donor motor and measuring them, then measure the bore and pick the piston with the closest piston to bore clearance as per standard specs. Ideally I'd never recommend doing the as while it's all apart for another $600 and a hone you can put a set of brand new pistons and rings in and have a basically 'fresh' engine.

If you can, swap over the "new" piston onto the original rod and use the same bearings as what came out so the clearances should be the same. Again, you should put a new set of shells in while it's apart and plastiguage it to see what the clearances are at. A set of bearings will set you back $250-$350.

It's not everyday you have your engine out so you may as well freshen it up while you're in there.

If you're pulling the motor apart that far then go all the way. Give it new bearings, rings, and seals. It's not really much when you think it'll last you a long time until you want more from it.

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
