Heh guys im curious as to if the beams 3sge pistons can pe used in older 3sges like gen 2 and gen 3 engines, are the pistons the same design except for compression?, is pin size the same?, what about the valve angle of old heads and beams head? Can i just use beams pistons as a straight swap? Thanks for info guys, also are rods in beams lighter or the same?

From what I know I would say you cannot use the beams pistons. The valve angle is different on the beams head.You would have to flycut the pistons to stop the valves hitting the pistons.

you can use the rods they will be ok .the pistons are nearly flat top with fly cuts as the pentroof in the head has changed so you would be dropping the compression from the gen 2 from10 to 1 to 9to 1 with these beams 1s
