Connecting Rods

[GhostAccord]

Your spec sheet for your pistons should have the compression height. It should be on the label on the box as well. If they are off the shelf for the F22 then they would more than likely be the stock 30.55mm (1.204").

they most likely have arp's on them

finding a set thats 141.5 is gonna be tough.

which is 5.5708 inch right?

or if someone could point me in the right direction of the dimensions our stock connecting rods. like dont gonna send a like just a section or a page in the haynes manual i can look it up and read.

The 142mm will work. You should make sure that you clay the engine before you do the final bolt up. To make sure that you have proper clearances all around.

sorry, but what does clay the engine mean? like i take it put some clay in betweem the head and block and make sure everything rotates smoothly and clearance is good? hold on, here is a link to the pistons ill be using.

To put it simply. Clay is placed on the piston in a few different locations. The block and head is then put together and the crank is rotated. If the crank rotates that is the first good news. Then you remove the head and measure the thickness of the clay. This is how you make sure that the piston does not hit the head and that the valves do not hit the pistons. Also to measure how much clearance you have.

Here is a good DIY to read through; http://www.c-speedr.com/howto/claymotor/clay.php

Very nice choice in pistons. However, the link goes to a picture of a generic set of Wiseco pistons. What is the Wiseco part number that you have purchased?

its most likely an eagle rod just with his name on it.....


anyway, there are plenty of rod vendors that will perform to the caliber you WANT when you do a build:

going out and looking for the cheapest deal you can find with what could be of unknown quality is asking for trouble. You are building an engine that you are hopefully putting pride into. Buy it once, buy it right.

ya no, im defiantly going for a solid build. bisi was out of stock and so was race engineering n i honestly do not know how much longer my current engine will last, its got alot of miles on it, so i was looking for alternate options. but now that i see bisi is back in stock ill be going with them again now. just to locate some solid main bearings and connecting bearings.

OE Honda bearings are very solid.
