Does anyone know of a source for new wrist pin bushings for TII rods running the stock srt4 pistons? I have a set of TII rods that are all redone with arp bolts and I just purchased some used stock srt pistons. I would like to use the rods with the pistons for a cheap 2.4 short block to get started with and maybe build a forged motor later. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
You won't be able to buy those, they will have to be custom made. The TII rod is .901, the SRT is .850? or something like that. They are alot smaller.

2.5 rods srt pistons
Yep, those will work. It looks like he made up the bushing.
Have you thought about buying some Eagle SRT rods, there around $300 a set. I am running those in the van, lighter too boot,

This is info the guy sent me about the rod bushings:
The Eagle part number is B927. That is the closest thing I have found. It is .927 OD and .865 ID and 1.05 long.
This is not something you can do in your garage, by the way. You must have a proper pin press and grinders and rod-hone machine. I made up all the correct tools to do the job, which made it much easier.
Eagles phone number is 1-662-796-7373.
Thanks.
Not to put you down, but the money and time spent making tools and doing the job, wouldn't it be better to just buy a set of rods done? It would probably be cheaper?
Yep, if you get the rod pin size wrong or not centered, bad things happen,

Contact a local machine shop with this info and see if they can do it or source the right bushing.
