The stock compression height is 2.0.
There is room for the 7 inch rod, it will be right at the bottom of the oil
ring groove, with a thin ring pack.
The rod/stroke ratio isn't that bad on these engines but generally anything
that reduces loads is a good thing...

Subject: [Fot] 7" PAUTER RODS?
Anyone have any experience with 7.00" RODS?
This is an inquiry from some I apparently met in Portland, OR
He refers to a similar kit from Cambridge.
TIA.

By the way, do you have any experience building up a long rod 4 pot. I've
been talking with Pauter and they can make up a set of 7" rods and Wiseco
pistons for the 87 mm sleeves. This is similar to the setup that Cambridge
Motorsports sells using Carrilo rods and JE pistons. I can't seem to find
any
specs in the service manual on the stock piston compression height ( I think
it's 2") or ring landing locations to see if the wrist pin on the long rod
will intersect the oil scraper ring groove. This is not a stroker kit, but
Cambridge advertises that longer conrods reduce piston speed and contact
area.
What do you think?
