Title: stock pistons,rods,-88mm crank
Post by: gkaos on December 10, 2007, 05:26:41 AM
Hello all,

My question is this:Is it possible to use stock pistons and rods (m42 from e36) with 88mm crankshaft? (bore remains 84mm) What will be  the  new CR?Are there any dangers?(piston hits valve etc) Or should  the pistons be machined? Thanx guys..
