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.

 

I'm wondering the same thing since I'll be building up an engine soon. D16Z6 Eagle Rods

 

do it urself with a dremel

and this is only for d series engines

 

its no big deal anyway.

 

there it is, grab a dremel and do it up. Hmmm I can't find the picture of it done, so yeah.

 

youll
need to notch the block. its actually very simple. check out theoldone.com for in depth ----...

 

just to give you a general idea

 

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.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Picture does not work but I will check out boost-up.com/stuff/notching .
