Z-Gad Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 By the time the machine mods are done to make an alternate forged piston fit, couldn't you just have ordered a set from Summit? I remember someone saying it was under $600 for pistons, rings and pins through them... Otherwise, contact Ross, JE, Venolia, etc and they'll have the correct valve clearances, etc...

NZeder Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks NZeder. Did you go with the L28crank/L24 rod combo or changed route? It seems ArizonaZ is the only solution' date=' expensive though. How's your build coming along?Cheers, Ari[/quote'] I have not started on the engine - but I am thinking I will go the L28crank/L24 rod with custom pistons for my rebuild engine (F54/N42 or E88 combo) and I will stick my other stock F54/N42 combo in to begin with.

If I had the money I would just go with ArizonaZ, they are designed for this combo. cheers, Ari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat260 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Here is another approach. How about L28 dished pistons. According to Lengine program if I combine this piston with the L28crank/240rod combo the deck would end up being 2.730 above deck. Now, here is the approach. If I shave the piston let say 2.7 I would end up with the factory deck height, it would be like a raised pin height by 2.7, no? As for the compression it would depend, if buy shaving I end up flat or dished. Guys, what do you think, would it work or I got it wrong?
