Re:z6 and a6 block differences....

the block itself is the same, the pistons are different which is why you get different c/r's.

Re:z6 and a6 block differences....

did you re-use the bearings from the z6 block, or did you size up new bearings? Possibly the differn't blocks have differn't main bearing sizes?

actually there is a small difference in the blocks. the z6 water pump is slightly smaller than the a6 water pump and cannot be interchanged although they will bolt up the same.
