QUOTE (Cuts_the_Pilot @ Apr 22, 2011 - 8:16 PM)  Pistons are the same between 3rd and 4th, check toyodiy if you dont believe me. There is debate if the rods are different, some places state the same part numbers, but i know people who have snapped rods on 4th gen 3s-gte, taken appart and confirmed smaller rods. i heard this also... (probably from you cuts?) i can personally say that the rods are the weak point in the 4th gen. Ive had 2 of them blow, both cases a rod was thrown. i got pics of it somewhere in here (the rod was twisted like a tornado) and the piston was pulverized to look like little bits of gravel. the 2nd blown one cracked a piston, couldnt see far down enough to assess rod damage. --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM) You want power but have no money. That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |
