Re: ls crank/rods in a gsr block (Rocket)
the reason i ask this is because i was wondering how an 89mm stroke would fit in a space made for a 87.2mm one. thanks rocket for your reply.

I'm not sure I understand why you would have to worry about piston to oil squirter clearance I mean aren't the oil squiters underneath the pistons lubricating the rods? Correct me if I'm wrong.

when the piston is moving down, if there isn't enough clearance you could end up damaging them.

Or the crank throw. Just assemble the motor rotate it slow while watching the squirters for clearance

Yep, the stroke is longer and the rod is shorter so the piston is going to be closer to the squirter at BDC.

Not sure if it is the same on all B18C motors with LS cranks, but... In my B18C block when I installed the LS crank, the crank itself was hitting the oil squirters. The only way at the time to fix it was to knife edge the crank.

Re: ls crank/rods in a gsr block (cycocivic)
LS crank adds around 37cc's of displacement and ups compression a little. There is a lot of debate over this mod and the oil squirters. Some say you should cut them off and some say you shouldn't. My advice would be you will never get a concrete answer so keep them if you can, there is less chance you will have problems in the long run. Just make sure you have clearance cause you don't want anything to hit them and shave off little pieces of metal into your engine. You will need to use LS rods and again some people say you should upgrade to ARP rod bolts and some say it isn't necessary. It's up to you but for $100 I would just upgrade the bolts for piece of mind.

Re: ls crank/rods in a gsr block (indomotor)
you have to machine the crank to pas the oil squirters. i wouldn't recomend it because i had a ls crank with rods in a typr-r block and i kept spinning bearings. so i out the r crank and rods back in. not worth it. trust me.
