Default Re: Mixing bearings for clearance

Stock pistons often have an offset but the rods themselves are not offset. The offset is about .060" on a small block......Maybe that is what you meant and I misunderstood the question......In Stock we often used TRW pistons and turned them around so the offset went the other way...... The TRW forged pistons that were used to build a 350 Stocker engine has the offset in the pin hole......L-2256.....forged flatop 4 valve relief......Hang them on the rods so the arrow that is normally facing forward is toward the rear......

I had a G-H/SA '69 Nova back in the '90's and built a "cheap" shortblock using those pistons.........Dykes rings with spacers......
