Hey, im in the middle of building my bottom end right now and when i put my rods into the piston the side clearance is much larger than stock. I have SRP 81.5 mm 9.2:1 compress and eagle rods in a 94 b18b1. The rods are the same size as stock but the pistons are a lil wider. I check both parts with the companies and I have the right parts. Is this ok? does anyone have any experience with this?

 

pistons part number is SRP-149219

 

The piston should be larger than stock. You bought 81.5mm pistons. You need to bore and hone your cylinders.

 

I worded that wrong, what i mean is that the rod-piston clearance is not the same as stock(the space between the rod and the inside of the skirt were the wrist pin is)

 

I doesnt matter your rod should not be moving side to side anyways unless you want to have a serious case of crank walk.

 

thats what i was thinking but the sheet the pistons came with said to check that. I was just double checking. Thanks
