Default Vitara pistons?
Ok i finally have the money for my build and i cant remember were i read it but vitaras are .5mm too small or something so if i get the 75.5mm vitaras i should have less slappage on startup.

The guy from puerto rico on ebay.. I think its the same guy.. They are pretty tight of a fit.. did you bore it out or something.. A quick hone job isnt going to put you out to .5 extra my nog.

Mine are 75 in a d16a6 block and there is no slappage.

BTW we are now selling sets of 75mm YCP Vitara Pistons / Hastings Rings / SCAT rods for D series for $414 plus shipping. These are the same piston/ring sets FJT is selling on HT. This deal is not on our website, just hit us with an email if you want a set. We did a test fitment of these here in the shop, and the Vitara pins appear to fit without any reaming of the SCAT rod pin ends. You might be able to get away with a plug and play (and just notching the block), but to cover our butts we'll say...

"Have a professional machinist check all clearances and tolerances on all parts before assembly"

Nope, we don't make enough on them by themselves.

What the ---- is the deal with the tt rods? The first thing i ever read on this site was a vitara build with tt rods. I have been preaching your rods and vitara pistons ever since. Last time you had some i just got laid off. It makes me sad i cant rep the TT rods

What kind of sizes are we talking about here and what are the proper tolerances for the pin/rod?
