pistons?

[litdevil316]

any one ever seen any 0.030 or 0.040 over pistons?

[azeniskid]

why would you do that? cylinder walls would get too thin

[gbe357]

true....you'll risk head gasket failure too...

[litdevil316]

i figured as much. i was talking to my dad last night on AIM, and he asked that. and i wasnt sure. but thanx for the help tho folks.

What is the top you can over bore a 2.4? like 0.020?

[azeniskid]

.020 is the safest I would even think of doing.

You'd gain more by going high compression. 10.5:1 *droolz*

[mthegodfather]

Who makes high compression pistons for the 2.4?

[azeniskid]

mantapart would be able to lead you in the right direction.... carcustoms.net would be able to do the same...
highrevmotorsports MIGHT be able to ... rsmracing MIGHT be able to...

an easy way to go high compression would be to get 9:1 pistons and a 2.3L head swap w/ the intake and exhaust manifolds that go w/ it. hehehe.

I am thinking about checking into the 2.4 crate engine that RSM offers. Mine has 140,000 and isnt gonna last forever so i thought about calling them and seeing what theu could put together.

[litdevil316]

RSM can get you a crate motor with their go-fast head work and cams for about 3-3.5k and its already at 0.020 over.

[azeniskid]

I hate stock crate motors that are rebuilds... grrrrr!!!! No fun in that.

[litdevil316]

lol. tru. but atleast you can get their "race" head with it. cams and all.

[azeniskid]

and a stock bottom end that will let go once you hit the good ole 250+ mark... PASS!!!

I've got my own race head thank you very much

[litdevil316]

true. but 250k isnt that bad. and ya could always go for a better crank and all.
