The data that is floating around, is in the pump pressure sticky on the other site. I discovered that that particular pump had a slightly faster advance curve, or at least the internal pump pressure rises more steeply than the later pumps but that could easily be countered by a slower advance mechanism...

So it's been awhile since I started on my hybrid build. Took me awhile to ind the perfect block to put the 1.5 pistons into. Got it cleaned up and painted I'll post a pic soon. Now I'm going to start putting the pistons and bottom end into it. I'd like to put the Arp rod bolts in but from what I've read are a pain in the butt to do. Anyone done them in the 1.5 rods and does anyone have a part number for them? Or are they the same part number as the 1.6 rod bolts?

Do the rod bolts u can just take them to a machine shop they'll press them in for a few bucks I got new arp rod bolts and bushings in mine had them polished and balanced and big ends resized it cost me 100 plus 120 for the bolts

^^^^ What he said.. They aren't so bad to actually press in the rods, but the rods themselves need to be checked and possibly (most likely) resized... ARP # 104-6002

So I should probably measure each rod before I put the bolts in and if neccesary machine them
Back down to that size hey

What happens most time when you install the studs is that they sort of "stretch out the hole" since they press in there rather snugly.. This will leave you with a bump more or less right in the center of the journal on each side.. Of course this bump will push out on that one small area of the bearing, and I think you can probably imagine what bad will follow..

Grant or Goetze are pretty safe bets.. The $20 specials and Top Line rings I would avoid..

Goetze are the only ones i will run, maybe total seal if they make them now.

So I have everything to swap the bottom end of the 1.5 into the 1.6. Grant rings kolpenschmidt bearings and arp rod bolts. Only thing I need is a pooched 1.6 piston so I can match up the notch with my 1.5 pistons. Any one have a donor they want to part with? Only need one piston! Don't want to go buy a brand new one and none of the wreckers have anything. Any help would be awesome!

I have some 1.6 TD pistons. You pay shipping both ways and I would let you borrow one to use.
