113644, RE: Long rod engine.. aka RPM screamer.. Posted by Corbin, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM You're talking about two different things. This thread is about using the 2.4 block with custom long rods. The rods would be about 1 inch longer. The howell rebuild kit uses the 2.0l block and custom long rods and pistons. Howell's rods are 0.136 inches longer. They move the wrist pin on the piston higher to complement the long rod. There should be no inherent change in compression ratio or valve clearance with the Howell setup. These are very different animals. | |
