225 Long Rod Build Thread
Here is the long rod slant that I am building. KB 2.2L pistons, K1 cast crank rods, a last year ‘87 block and crank.
I had a very light clean up cut on the block deck, look close and you can still see the discoloring at the gasket water holes. That combined with having the crank line bored, the pistons are .005 out of the hole.
and here is a tip for you, while the block is apart, cut the manufacturing lugs off the top, cup plug side of the block. They serve no purpose now and will definitely interfere if you ever choose to run Dual Dutra's.
