ok so Im doing a rebuild. Im putting in these .020 wiseco pistons and eagle rods. When i put the first piston in it just didnt look good. need some help i put some picks up.:confused:

to me it looks like the piston is short. but could it be because of the 9:0:1 comp/ratio

if you look the piston is top dead. and there is a gap. shouldnt the piston go all the way up
 
its a 2g block. 95 gst. i have the stock crank. eagle rods/CRS-5900-MBB. and wiesco pistons/6596M855
 
That sucks hope u figured that out after only putting 1 piston in, or u can try and find a 4g64 crank and make it a stroker
 
so i need a new crankshaft. then what would i need to make those pistons work with the block or should i just sell them and get the right ones
 
oooo yea that help thanx bro.

but i could still use the same rods right
 
As everyone said you either need to get a 100mm crank (to do this you will need to do some extra machining to the block because the larger crank will hit them) and make your engine a 2.3L, or you can get rid of these pistons and buy the proper ones for a 0.020" over 2.0L engine.
 
not everyone needs to machine the block Ive personally never done that but if you have any doubts you can file it down very easily yourself.
Onelove Your options are returning the pistons you have to get normal non stroker pistons or like everyone else is telling you just pop in the 100mm 4g64 crank.
 
is this a good idea for the dayle drive. I plan to use the car to go to work on home and when i can a little fun on the streets
 
Since your car is a FWD I would prefer to not build a stroker as the biggest gain you will get is more torque lower in the RPM range which means more burnouts for you. It will still be drivable if you get the 4G64 crank I would just opt to change pistons and keep it a 2.0 if it were my car. It will be more FWD friendly and easier to tune.
 
The main caps need to be notched to clear the 100MM throw and areas of the block needs slight clearance work. I'd recommend sticking with the 88mm crank and get the right pistons.
