hehe yeah.

so once you take off your head, there is a stamp on your block stating what size your pistons are. A is the standard bore, while B is a slightly larger bore (i think).

the stamp will look something like this:
AAAA = all standard pistons
ABAB = cyl 1 and 3 are standard, 2 and 4 are the B sized pistons

NXLude · 03-03-2004, 10:57 PM

Youd have to tear it down anyhoo.....tear it down, have them send them to you , put them in....it only takes a few days....

Daemione · 03-04-2004, 07:38 AM

You could order before you tear it down . . . just get 4 A's & 4 B's . . .

raceflicks · 03-04-2004, 08:17 PM

Acctually you can tell w/o taking the head off!!! Look strait down the back of the block on the T-belt side with a flashlight. Right behind where the power steering line runs you should be able to see the code.

One Slow Lude · 03-04-2004, 08:38 PM

oh really?
ill have to check it out tomorrow in the light

bb6flier · 03-04-2004, 08:44 PM

Just so you know it's right at the level where the head meets the block, just to the backside of the T-belt cover. You might have to clean it up so you can acctually see the letters though.
