crank and rods

[gavo]

Im looking at buying this block from a 99 turbo 2000 but has no crank and 1 rod u/s,so would it be possible to use the pistons from this with my crank and rods as it is still an EJ20?:scratchchin: .

[Neil G]

I belive they are the same but not 100% on that.

Why is one of the rods us? I would ask as the damage/failure to the rod may have transmittted to the piston bearing.

Definately check for signs of damage/det round the edges of the pistons.

That price doesn't sound bad....only £50 more than what I've been quoted by the Renault dealers in Bath for doing my canbelt on the 172:eek:

Im gonna buy an imprezza hahaha

[Agent Smith]

wise move mate.....

[Neil G]

What brand were they Phil ?

I know HKS internals are expensive and Arrow & Crower rods/pistons for the Impreza.

I bet the pistons for my F4R Renault are a grand each from a Renault dealer:hysterical:

[gavo]

well dont need the doner block now as i've got mine stripped and have just cracked the edge of no4 piston and it has'nt damaged the bore have also found that 2 inlet valves on the other side need new springs as you can push them down with ya finger which would explain the horrible rattle it had.

Bought my scoob from them, thought they were top class:m_yes:
