from another forum Wrote:Are those stock rods with press-fit 18mm wrist pins? I can't remember if those 10:1 pistons had 18mm or 20mm pins.
The 10:1 pistons were available in BOTH 18mm, and 20mm wrist pins........


These are 18mm wrist pins...

I decided along with the new 10:1 pistons, that the light weight wrist pins will work nicely in this engine. The 23+ gram (nearly an ounce) saving will help allow the engine to accelerate/decelerate quicker, as well as lower the stress on the rod.


btw.....not sure anyone picked out the older design head gasket......... That type (from Toyota) hasn't been around in quite a while...



more to come...... Hurray!
