I was trying to convince him to run something custom(similar to a stock SR20DE intake), but for now he is retaining the OEM intake.

A point - these rods did need a bit of work to be used. The big end of the rod had some taper (.001"), and the IDs were inconsistent - varied by .0008".... but they are still far less costly then getting them from Carrillo. While there was some issues to be addressed, these issues were caught, and CORRECTED by a professional race shop!

Finally, I've been finishing the head, getting the "new" intake cam to fit, and getting the "new" exhaust valves to fit the best of the exhaust cams I have. Some were done with shims, while others had the valve "tipped" a few ten thousandths.





more to come..... Hurray!

from another forum Wrote:The MRP rods are also slightly longer than the standard 7A rod aren't they?
about 0.5mm from memory.

To be honest... I can't confirm, or deny that...


Here is what I know........... the deck of the block was slightly damaged, requiring machining to make sure the metal gasket sealed.

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - OST-044: What the "F"?]

The block was decked .008" so this scare would go away. Because I was unsure of how deep that scare was, I had the custom pistons built with .004" less deck then a stock piston is. Once the pistons were fitted to the rods, and fitted to the block, the deck was again checked, and the block was machined a further .005" to set the squish gap @ .035" (~.9mm) - gasket + deck = .035"



The engine assembly went quite smoothly......

Just need to add the timing cover, and the cam cover, and then get this on a pallet back to its owner!!




More to come...... Hurray!
