So me and my friend spent about 6+ hours carefully measuring and assembling my 4g64 LR setup to find out that when we installed rods/pistons 1 and 4. That they hit the sleeve after being rotated. Block is a 7bolt 4g64 out of a 01 galant.
I am really frustrated at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

 

I didn't have sleeves put in, but my 2.4 LR hit on either the 2 or 3 cylinder, on the side of the block. I notched it with an air grinder and spent like 2 hours cleaning the block out again.

 

you guys running turbo tuffs or H beams? H beams didn't need any clearancing

 

Manley turbo tough I beams 156mm rods.

 

I have oem sleeves. So I will have to notch the Bottom of the sleeve?

 

Anyone else have to notch the bottom of the sleeves?

 

The oem blocks aren't sleeved. Are you asking about needing to clearance the bottom of the cylinder bore? If so, then I did not need to using Maperformance ultimate duty rods. Some rods and some blocks need extra clearance on the side of the block, but I don't think any need it at the cylinder bore.

 

Just came home and took a closer look. THE RODS ARE CLEARLY HITING THE BOTTOM OF THE cylinder bore.

 

Figured out the problem. Piston sits 6 mm above deck. Wrong pistons.

 

That makes sense. Sucks about having to order new parts though.

 

air grinder....

 

I ordered them trough a shop in town. Specifically said 87mm pistons for a long rod 4g64 with 156mm rods. Hoppefully something gets worked out on Monday.

 

You need to notch the bottom of the block with manley I beams.
