.... obviously high compression and you 91 octane folks should consider a thicker head gasket. However, 12.5:1 can be driven daily on 92 octane. Since you have decided to open that sucker and upgrade the pistons you should also consider upgrading your rods. Whether you decide to shot-peen your stock rods or upgrade to some LS rods, it's up to you. The LS rods can fit a D series piston simple by removing a little material from the inside of the piston. When upgrading these, you should consider new OEM bearings and ARP rod bolts. Strength is always a comfort, right? The head is what traps all of the power in any engine. Be it naturally aspirated (N/A),......... "

If you were to read instead of assume I was wrong (entirly possible ) you would realize that they were talking about LS <U>RODS</U> not <U>pistons</U> like metioned by the OP

the D series has a 75mm bore where as the LS has a 81mm bore...the numbers just don't add up

 

I guess technically you could sleeve the y8 and bore it to 81mm... but if I was going to that trouble, I wouldn't use LS pistons...

 

that would be a heck of a sleeve...none that are on the maket would work

It's been done...

But it's certainly NOT worth it...

 

yea its def. not worth it but i was looking towards the rods because they are stronger maybe can hold a couple extra lbs. of boost than the stock y8 rods

LS rods will work, with notching.

 

it would make more sense to me just to buy some aftermarket rods and pistons...

 

not really cuz the ls rods are extremely cheap... great for people on a budget and they still do the trick and are plenty strong in my book

 

whats the point just do a ******* ls swap if you must have ls pistons
