JelmerPatrol Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I took my stroker project to the machine shop to get bored and honed, measure the bearings and to put the pistons in. But when the guy saw the pistons (KA24 with press in piston pin) and the rods (L24) he said it isn't going to fit. The rods are used and there are still pistons on there but they use clips to keep the piston pin in there. The guy said that the piston pin from the KA24 piston is not going to fit in the L24 rod becuase there is an bronze bushing in it. What do I need to do?

PalmettoZ Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hey- I have the same KA24 pistons and L24 rods for my stroker motor. Just don't use the piston pin clips together with the L24 rods. The L24 piston pin hole is a press fit and will hold the pin in the piston fine. Another option is to install bronze bushings in the L24 rod and drill a oil hole to lube it. Then you would just assemble it like you would the KA24 piston / rod set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MREDDLE Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Im not trying to be rude... But, Maybe you should talk to another machine shop, Because the KA24 pistons will work on the 240z rods. Maybe They are just confused and are unsure. They may just need support. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sounds like the L24 rods you have have been converted to a full-floating wrist pin. Just get the KA pistons machine for the lockring, and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
