D s50r Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I dont think there are enough smart people here to understand the benfits of building a LPT engine over a HPT engine..................I would be intrested but I have no more money coming in for awhile so I have to be carefull in what I spend . that and if I had a LPT engine sitting around I would be all over it.im one of the few smart ones lol i have a lpt xc70 engine in my r and and extra one next to my tool box lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have high res pictures if you need, but I resized them to 800x600 to post them.One of the ARP's is semi-fubared (useable, but it is advised that a new one be acquired) These 3 pictures are all the same rod bolt just showing the profile.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let me know if there are any other pictures you would like.

KS70T5M Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 hmmm wonder if the same part # ? for LPT and HPT ones I need to get a LPT block pull the rods and checkVADIS shows the same part number for the "Connecting rod complete" between the B5254T(LPT) and the B5234T3 (HPT) there is no part number for the rod itself, I'm guessing it just comes with some hardware, hope it helps.
