Rods to use for C20LET ZVH build
Hello,
I'm new here. I'm from the Netherlands, so i am already apologizing for my bad english.
Last thursday I bought myself a Ford Escort mk4 and a 2 litre Silvertop engine from a Ford Mondeo.
I want to build a ZVH engine, using the C20LET Opel pistons. I know the block needs to be machined to accept the pistons.
Now I have one issue about the rods, i want to buy these rods. Link:
https://m.ebay.ie/itm/Ford-Zetec-2-0-silver-top-Forged-Steel-Con-Rods-Connecting-Rods-21mm-pin/122729098588?hash=item1c93396d5c:g:H40AAMXQaBtQ9wn s
The hole for de piston pins is already 21mm like the C20LET. I read that the Zetec rod lenght is 136,14 mm c/c and these rods in the link are 136,25 mm c/c, is this a big problem or do i have to shorten my pistons with 0,11mm?
Thanks!
