Default Man I fucked up, my Je forged pistons take the LS rods(pin)

I got a set of Je forged pistons whitch take the LS pins, I just ordered the TT D series rods not knowing I culd use the B series rods on my crankshaft. What to do?
I either have to get new rods to match the pistons or I have to have the D series TT rods machined to fit the LS pin. what shuld I do?

have the wristpin end machined to fit the pin. its just a bronze bushing in there, a machine shop should be able to do it for relatively cheap

Really, long rod D15B crank in a D16 block, only need special bearings.

no part number, they where made custome for a guy who was going high comp na build and was gonna use ls rods for it. I guess my main concern is the power handling of the rods will the bored out end?

well like i said, its just the bronze bushing thats going to be bored. the bronze has no effect on the overall strangth of the rod. the actual steel that the rod is made of holds all the stress

LS pins will likely be too wide, might need 98-00 GX pins

thats 21mm, same size as B series wristpins...but the D series GX motor used 21mm wristpins as well. they would also be short enough to fit in a 75mm bore. try and find a set of those and you'll be golden
