Using 1.5 pistons in a 1.6 block?
« on: March 28, 2009, 02:02:46 pm »
Does anyone have an tricks up their sleeves?  Heres my problem-  I found what I thought were 1.6 1mm over pistons and had my block bored to match.  When I brought the machinest my rods and wrist pin bushings we found they they are 1.5 1mm over and use a 22mm wrist pin instead of 24mm.  

Does anyone know of another rod or any other way to use these pistons?  I would like to use them in this block because the machining and finish have already been matched to these pistons.

you could probably trade someone brand new 1mm oversized 1.6 pistons for those pistons.  apparently 1.5 oversize pistons are uber rare.

I know a couple people that would give you cash for them. Or you can go with 1.5 rods and crank and run it 1.5.
