I've read in a few places that 2.5l pistons and t2 rods will work in a 2.4.
I've got a set of shotpeened rods and forged wisco pistons out of my old turbo 2.5 16v (head off a DOHC neon) hybrid motor. Roughly What would the compression ratio be with them? Pisons were from FWDP.
Would be nice and save a ton of money to be able to reuse them insted of buying new pistons.
Thanks.
Roughly 7.0-7.2:1. Pretty low.Quote:

then you still have a usable shortblock ..and a "race head"
Even more logical would be to use the correct rods and pistons. One and done.Quote:

if you know where to get the harder 2.2 rod bearings I'll take a couple of sets each std -10 and -20
