I have the Eagle rods for the 2.2 and Diamond pistons also for the 2.2. The rod goes in almost all the way but get wedged near the bottom. Should I just get the rods machined and balanced again or is something wrong? PS. Wrist pins fit fine for both.

 

the rods gets wedged near the bottom on the block?

 

No in the piston were the wrist pin mates both parts

One more thing... Are the stock piston rings still strong enough to handle 350-400+ HP?

 

Ok. I took the rods to get machined so that solves that... Now for the piston rings. Cant use stock rings sooo the total seal kit is the only way to go ya know if my bore was 3.385 which its not its 3.386... Any one know were to get the correct size?

 

Thats what SHE said.

 

call up diamond and see if they got them. you didnt order a ring kit when you ordered the pistons?

 

Stupid me... I found the part# for the ring set. It's the same for the lsj.

 

aight..

13.7. @ 103, good **** dude. you got drag radials?

 

Stock rings are a bad idea to re-use. My eagles and wiesco's fit just fine.

 

Nope. Thats on street tires spinning through first and into second lol.

No I was wondering about new oe rings.

 

get them drags, im going to be hittin up the track soon, dyno maybe tomorrow. but yea, id most def hit the people who your ordered the pistons from up about the rings

 

Oh humm.

 

Never mind that. Was just a thought. One more ? Can I reuse the rod bearings or just replace. And if replace do I need to machine the crank?

 

I wouldn't reuse them get: http://www.turbotechracing.com/produ...dcategory=5616

I didnt have my crank machined just balanced, but thats not really needed.

 

Thankyou sir! That does it for my questions about building. Just wanted to make sure I do it right the first time ya know. lol
