lookforjoe Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 ^ Must be the old type thenI bought these back in the late spring, so I would assume that to be the case, although even then Lars said they didn't always need block mod.

lookforjoe Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 See the tear drop by the gudgeon pin on the non-clearancing ones?That's not definitive though, mine had no teardrop design, and did not clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 That's not definitive though, mine had no teardrop design, and did not clear.Right, that's what I'm saying.The ones with no teardrop do not clear.Same as the ones Johann has pictured... no teardrop by the small end and they do not clear.Not saying it's 100% conclusive, just helps sometimes when you're looking in for sale threads or browsing the intrawebs and seeing various 5cyl china rod builds.BTW... By clearancing I meant the ones that need block mods... and by non-clearancing I meant the one that do not need block mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it the opposite way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
