3. The piston is 1.600 from the center of the pin to the deck of the piston.

4. The connecting rod is 5.090 center to center.

You can change any number in here, except the block height. So...if you have a 3.250 stroke crank and a 1.600 C/H piston.....the rod has to change to 4.965. 8.200 - (stroke/2) - 1.600 = rod length

No you can't do it, and you are now armed with the knowledge that will avoid annoying these fine fellows. In my experience, they really get testy if you are new to the hobby.
fixed(just adjusted how it looks so it gets calculated right is all)


the way you did it, if someone didnt know what you were doing you would come up with

8.200 - stroke/2 - 1.600 = 0.875

when writing math formulas you gotta have an indicator of something that has to be factored first with ()

8.200 - (stroke/2) - 1.600 = 4.975

OP asked an admittedly stupid question.
To which I responded with a stupid answer
Ok sure you cant turn them down to fit! Probe offers a set of pistons to make it happen!
There is a difference in stupidity and ignorance!

no, im the same way; i have no problem with people asking questions when they're stuck with something,

i DO have a problem with people ignoring the "search" feature or being too dumb to type their question into google first...

and most people here shouldnt even try to put a CAI on their car, let alone ask questions about in-depth engine assembly...

if you have to ask..... DONT DO IT!!!!!!

wheres the facepalm when i need it????!!?!?

I thought about that, for a moment. I flunked Algebra three times, making the wrong choice was a foregone conclusion.

Thanks for fixing it.

Once upon a time I didn't know anything about cars....the the guy that called me "squirrel" at Service Center answered a ton of questions that he had, no doubt, answered many times before.

Now, I answer them, as many times as they are asked. Even if the guy asking isn't a customer.
