ok so i know the 2T rods can be used on the 3T cranks if i use the 2T bearings. and then i can use the 2T pistons. how deep do i need to get the valve clearance sockets machined so that pistons wont hit valves. and what is the advantage of using 2T pistons instead of 3T pistons?
thanks. craig
2T and 3T engine bearings are identical (if using aftermarket bearings) just be wary where the oil squirting hole in the big end is (they often need to be drilled in the correct location).
I am not sure that the 2T pistons will be able to be used then - but is is fair to say that if they can be used, then there should be no need to machine the valve pockets - bear in mind if there is any clearance issues at this point, is not going to valvle to piston, but rather that of piston deck height.
