LS/VTEC rod milling ?'s
When milling the OEM LS rods to accept CTR pistons 1mm must be milled. My question is: Do you mill .5mm from each side of the rod or do you mill 1mm from each side of the rod? Not in a rush but I get my rods on Friday and I want to get the machine work done. Thanks in advance.

Every search I came up with said 1mm? Now I am confused? Do you know this from personal experience? Are you a machinist? let me know

Rocket is talking inches. 1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches
So, a little bit less than 1 millimeter on each side. Is that correct Rocket?

Is this safe for the piston?
