Stock rod numbering

Post by icantdrift »

I'm working with 7 good pistons and rod setups, and I'm currently a little confused on the numbering. I have 2 sets, both with rod numbers 1-4, however one is bent/cracked ringlands. Is there any real significance with the numbers? Basically I want to run the 4 best ones, which would mean I would have rods numbered 1, 2, 2, 4. The big end caps match the rods they came with however. Anyone see an issue with that?

do you not have the internet? you can wait for days for a response or find an answer in less than 5 minutes.

the number correlates to size. the oem bearings are numbered too.

what sdaigle said - check the FSM - http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/240sx/1991- ... ral/EM.pdf Specifically the piston grade info is on page 36.
