Forged rods and pistons
 

I read in the Hybrid/Tech section that the engine block will have to be notched in order to install forged rods and pistons. There was no mention of the type of engine.

I have a few questions for any D16Z6 owners with forged rods and pistons:
1. Will I have to notch the block? If yes, how is it done and about how much is the cost to get it done?
2. Is there a particular set of forged rods and pistons that can be installed without any modification to the engine block?

I need this information ASAP for installation next week.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

You need to notch with a D-series if you're using H-beam Rod's. With Crower I beams you don't need to.
