The Carrillo rod specs are:

P.E. Bore: 0.7884
B.E. Bore: 1.7720
P.E. Thks: 0.860

The New Venolia pistons specs are:
Piston Bore: 3.228
Pin: .787
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Greengoose, I read this after searching google for carrillo rods available for 4age. First is what have you decided to do re the NA build. I saw another post of yours were your changing to "Weisco or Arias for new pistons". Either is my answer. I assume you are going to use the Carrillo rods? Anyway, my question is why you would not be using the 4agze block as your base for NA. The removal of the superchargers is easy and wise. The 4agze block and crank are stronger thus will provide a better base than the earlier NA blocks. That is unless you already have a small port NA block, which would have been build between 89-91. This block has 7 ribs and a silver cam cover with red writing (only red, not red and black). If your going the 20V route then these plenty of blocks available, but they are still not as good as the 16V when finished (just see Formula Atlantic builds).. Anyway, unfortunately you don't have the carrillo's for sale, never mind, love to see how your build goes. PS this is my first post, as Im a AE86 owner,,,,,, drifting my heart away,,, cheers, JayJay
