I have a little problem. I am building an Rst efi engine. Problem is i lost the end cap of conrod nr 4. So what to do now? I cleaned the garage so i am sure that it isnt in the garage anymore.
I think it isnt just taking and endcap from another piston and just bolt it on is it? Cos i have 4 std pistons on the shelf. But those are 3i pistons and not RSt ones

Yep all new. Problem is i did try to use a NR4 rod cap from a 3i engine but there is something diff inside. There is a little edge(or what the word is). And that cause a lockup of the crank. When i bolt it all together its just stuck in it. No movement at all.

you can never use another cap imo, because they get "broken" in there productions. So a other one will never be like te one you lost. I would use a new one... engine are not that cheap to take the risk haha
good luck..

Well this one is a cheap built. Its just a test engine. so it can run untill the end of this year. And yes i know now that i cant use them but is an 3i rod the same? Can i use on of those or do i really need a RSt rod.
