I'm trying to check clearances for my build. D16 vitara scat rods.

Are the wristpins supposes to be press in or floating?

These are definately press in. I bought to rods second hand so they might be the wrong rods. Pins definately float in the pistons.

I heated up the rods and froze the wristpins and that still didn't do it. I actually have one wristpin stuck 3/4 of the way in the rod now.

 

Nobody ?

 

bump for an answer... did you get the box with the rods??

Part No Short No Description Rod Length Crankpin Wristpin Bewidth
2-5394-1771-898-748 65394187 4CYL. 5.394" 1.771" .748" .898"
2-5394-1771-935-827 65391498 4CYL. 5.394" 1.771" .827" .935"

That's from Scat's site... pretty sure You want the first option..

Somebody help this guy out?

 

I do have the box I'll go check and measure everything as well.

 

maybe you got some b18 rods there?

They are the same length as the d series, (5.394) , but a larger wrist length...

 

I'm just shocked no one could just spit out whether they're supposed to be press in or floating...

I'll measure them tonight and try to give scat a call.

 

they should be floating.

 

Thanks that's what I thought.... Add yet another item I'm going to repurchase since I tried to cheap out on initially. Ugh

fj ibeams here I come.

 

just use a brake cylinder hone to open it up a little or take them to a machine shop.
