quick forged piston rod question
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wiseco-Pistons-Eagle-Rods-Ecotec-2-2L-10-0-1-86mm-/270771649654?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACobalt%7CSubmodel%3ASS&hash=item3f0b3f7c76&vxp=mtr
will this 2.2 kit fit the lsj block, after looking at the build book the only thing i know to be different that would cause an issue is the piston to bore clearance is smaller on the 2.2 pistons vs the lsj, and they both use the same bore. it would seem that the bearing end of the rods are the same size as well, but the pin size is smaller on the 2.2, but of course the aftermarket pistons and rods would be sized together i assume.
im sure this has been asked, i looked it up and alot of the answers are about the pin clearances i only care about the piston to block clearances.

the 2.2 uses the same bore and a .033 longer rod and a longer stroke crank the part will physicaly fit and work but as for the comp ratio I couldent tell you. you would be better off buying the correct stuff for the lsj as it has a different rod length and a shorter stroke

the thing with the sleeves is just dropping a set of forged pistons in the stock bore the piston to cylinder wall clearance is more then likely going to be to loose and if there is to much taper and the bore is out of round the rings wont seat in as good as they should
