RE: stroke length

[E Smith]

The Z24 rods would require a 19mm compression height for the piston. Not enough distance from the flame front to ensure stable ring conditions or to give good bore stability.   Cheers Feral Errol   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Costello Sent: Tuesday, 15 January 2002 2:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: stroke length   sorry man, you may have misunderstood me I am getting custom pistons made up, I don't need to find some pistons from another car, I was just saying, since the pistons are getting custom made, wouldn't I be better off making them for the Z24 rods instead of the L20 ones the longer rod would surely make it a lot more revvy?   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 9:41 AM Subject: Re: stroke length   David, I would forget about using the z24 rods.The L20 rods would mean that with L20 piston that the pin height would be about 5mm to much so you need to find some pistons with 5mm less pin height.The z22e late model pistons list as a 32.1 pin height when compared to the L20 as 38.1 which is 6mm and you could deck the block if the comp was to low.These pistons are 87mm bore but unsure on the dish.Others on the list may have some better ideas.
