Each cylinder was off by too much, so it has to be bored out more. Which wouldnt fit the pistons, since those all come the same bore size....

And the block and crank were from SBR

Looks like i was right in not wanting to run their motor after it only lasted 150 miles....

Well enough off topic about that. Your comparing apples to oranges.

And pics wont show anything about the old block... I guess you can get pics of the crank and rods and pistons if you want....

I can hear the frustration and anger in his typing lol basically building a 4g64 from scratch that cant be cheap in the long run. so whatever yahu is paying thats what your paying since you got the same stuff in fact i think your pistons are different
