The pistons dont come all the way to the top of the sleeve because they are vitara's, the pin height is a little higher than the honda pistons, that is normal. Mine is the same way just like everybody else using vitara's, just rock it like its hot.

HOly ----! I didnt have to do all that! WOW!

Re: did i notch too much??
 

---- i dont know why everyone has been saying i went to much.. I have had 2 people look at in person that have the same rods (eagle) and they said they had to notch the same amount off theres!

I think it just looks like alot because most of u didnt use eagles.. And with eagles u have to notch ALOT more to make them fit.

Re: did i notch too much??
 

i've used eagles, and i didnt have to notch that much, barely even half that

Re: did i notch too much??
 

All d16 cranks are interchangeable. The vitaras are going to sit lower in the bore, because of the pin height as stated. As far as your notching, thats ridiculous. I didnt have to notch the girdle at all for my scat rods. im not sure whats going on in there without some more detailed pics. Youve got the rod bolts all the way tight right?

Re: did i notch too much??
 

You're fine with that crankshaft... Like sohcpwr said, they interchange. What you can't swap are main caps with blocks they did not come off of.

Re: did i notch too much??
 

close machined tolerances. When bearing clearance is .001, every main girdle produced would have to be within .001 of eachother. Im ASSuming here

Re: did i notch too much??
 

damn then wtf is with mine?? Its a y8 block with the y8 girdle. Just the only thing is im using a z6 crank and that is the mininum i could of notched without them hitting.. I mean. there still really close lol.. Eagle rods/arp 2000 bolts. yes all the rod bolts are tight.. Ive got all the oil clearances and everything in spec, only thing is my girlde is hacked to ----.

Re: did i notch too much??
 

ill try to get some more pics of it for u guys..
