Slowboy Deal on Wiseco Pistons (4G64 w/ DOHC head)

Post by **DJpowerHaus** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 11:36 am

Got Slowboy's newsletter today and looks they have a special on Wiseco pistons this week.

I checked the prices that I got from Summit last year. Looks like Slowboy is cheaper than Summit a year ago. Just letting you all know:

Hey DJ, I was wondering if since one would be ordering 'custom' pistons,
how hard would it be for them to just make one to use the stock rod so a budget would not have to get custom rods also?

I mean if all that has to be done would be move the pin, why not just do that?

How much of a difference is there between the stock 64 rod and the custom ones that are sold for these pistons slowboy is selling?

Thanks.. Errol

Those pistons can be used with stock rods, the rods just have to be bushed for full floating pins.

The only downside to those is the compression ratio 8.7-1, add in a milled head, and maybe even a milled block, and your over 9-1. You could use a stock mls gasket to bring it back down a bit though.

Great! I found a 81K mile 2.4 max that just had the b/s belt torn up.
I could probably just have it tanked and honed. The deck even was very nice!
You just saved me about 350-400 on rods

Thanks..
