Z6 vs. Y7 rods! whats the difference
NEW QUESTION!!!! Ok should i use my stock rods, that have over 230,000, or buy some with less miles?
ARE z6 rods, the same as Y7??
Ok, i plan on rebuilding a y7 block that i have. Im using a y8 head on it.
It has 230,000 on it?? approx? and it didnt burn oil.
I have brand new pistons, and today i bought a y8 gasket, and timing belt.
Im still looking for rods, and i need new rings, and bearings.
My question is, will the compression ratio be to high for my future of boost?
I did the compression calculator, but im not quite sure what "piston to deck height" is?
when i choose y7 the c/r is 9.9, then when i choose y8, its 9.3? help

piston to deck height is how far away the piston is from the top of the cylinder wall, as you stated.
you don't want a positive number, that means it's out of the hole, and you'll be having fun with smashy smashy piston into head.
