Re:building block, need suggestions
is the r/s ratio really that bad though?? maybe if i just slapped a b16 head on a b18 block with no machine work or internals, but i think it'll be fine with lighter forged pistons and rods??

Have to post to this so i can keep note of it cause i am learning along with you..
If I remeber correctly, a lighter assembly will rev a little faster than a heavy stock one. Less mass less weight easier to move. physics stuff lol. Dont forget about the flywheel also.
I dont know about the r/s though

yah id say thats correct. less reciprocating mass. my a6 revs really quick with about 8lbs shaved off the stock flywheel.
Earlier in this thread i mention about shorter rods. I think I was mistaken. the stroke is actualy shortened by the crank. LS crank has longer stroke then the gsr crank. correct anynone?
