I was wondering if you had to mod ragle H-beam rods to accept cp pistons. The friend that is helping me build my motor(he has only built v8 motors before) mention that you had to have a special bushing in the rod if you were not using press fit wrist pins? People with this set up please reply. And one more question, I am building a ls-vtec motor and want to stay around 9.1 compression, will getting 9.1 pistons on a ls-vtec motor stay 9.1 or will it raise the compression. If so by how much. Thanks!

 

anyone?

 

I used Eagle H-Beams and 84mm CP pistons in my B series build and I did no such thing.

 

nope most aftermarket pistons and rods

go together with the wrist pins and the e-clips i think they are calledthat
no need to mod them

 

ok thanks alot!!

I've had no problems. I dynoed with an SC61 at 15psi and put down 370. Had no problems whatsoever.

 

ok thanks again!
