buddy of mine was telling me to get ls rods put in on the d16y8 block ...
wondering ... if anyone has done this , and if they had any probs with doing it ... or what had to be done ..


thanx !

 

that is a b series part going in a d series motor. most of the time that doesnt fly,but a few d and b series parts are interchangable. i just dont think any in the block are. b series are generally beefier. i could be wrong though,anyone else out there?

my thoughts also .. but he was jus talking about the rods and not the pistons .. i didnt knwo if they would be too long .. or what .. or how it would work ..hmm .. but would like to but stronger rods in ..

 

yes the b18a rods will work in the d16, just need to get them machined to take the d-series pistons...

do a search...there are so many topics on this subject...

 

You can also use b16 pistons in the dohc zc,so i dont see why you cant use them on a sohc..?

No you can't. The B16 pistons are way bigger than ZC (or any other D-series) pistons.

Plus he's only asking about the rods. They will work, but like the post above said, you'll need to machine them to fit the D-series wrist pin.

 

yes you can use b16 pistons in a zc..i know this first hand..you have to bore your block to 82 mm ..you also have to use b-16 rods so that the length of the rods take up for the extra highth of the b16 pistons.dart sleves.

 

ls rods work with machining and aftermarket pistons. I know i have this setup in my car right now.

they are bigger.

in order to do that you bored the block correct ?
think it would be a good idea to use stock pistons ?

thanx

 

the rods do fit, but you have notch the block! and you have to put a different bushing in them!

 

you dont have to notch the block. 100% for sure.

 

i did a search i couldn't find it.. the search sucks tho cuz it won't pick up LS.. 2 letter word.. ugh
anyways i would like to know this as well.. what needs to be done?.. it looks like the side of the piston was shaved down alittle.. is this to clear the rod?.. or cuz they are aftermarket?.. also what do i need to do about the wrist pin?.. i got a b18 sitting outside.. with good rods.. and i'm getting read to rebuilt the d16.. if i can throw these rods in it would be awesome! please someone post up whats needed.. or link
thanks

 

Depending on the year of your block..you may have to notch it..some do some dont.endyne recomeds it on all blocks..even with aftermarket rods..
