Hi all,
I need some help with conrods for my zetec. I want to use vauxhall let pistons and eagle rods form america but as far as i understand you cant use them together due to the pin wont fit as you have to machine the hole for the pin. If this is the case what other options do i have?

 

pec do zetec pistons, accralite do zetec pistons, and wossner too

 

I kno these companies do the pistons but i wanted rods to suit let pistons. The reasons for using let pistons is the comp being 7.4:1 as apposed to je pistons being 9.0:1. Has anybody found rods to suite c20let pistons?

 

Eagle rods are too long for the LET pistons (well, if you want to retain low compression!).

Farndon will do them for you and i'm sure Arrow will have a spec on file to produce you custom ones. Alternatively PEC do them, apparently. Worst case scenario with these will be to ream out the small end a bit to match the pistons.

 

do you know what the compression will be if let and eagle rods were used?

 

Once you've machined the pistons down to give you the right deck protrusion, probably about 9.5:1

 

That compression is way too high lol. What rods does ian howell use with his let pistons?

 

that would be telling i think that he keeps that under his belt
