: Hi Folks !
:
: I´m planning on putting 2.2l turbo pistons into
: my stock 198ci, together with a 225ci crank.
: Do the stock piston pins fit the 2.2
: pistons? What compression ratio does this
: combo give ? I live in germany and 98 octane
: fuel is available (for the hefty price of 4$
: a gallon, but that´s another story...)

: FYI
: Just got back from the machine shop my 225 with
: 198 rod motor. Using KB's hypereutectic 2.2
: turbo pistons #KB268 in 0.5mm OS
: (3.465") with Hastings 2M4222
: .020" rings (moly). Deck was cut about
: 0.010" to cleanup gasket surface, and
: pistons in this block are at about
: 0.015" measured below the deck. This
: piston uses 1.5 mm comp. rings and a 4.0 mm
: shallow oil ring, and is not offset. Have
: installed on rods as a press fit, and with
: the valve reliefs facing the correct way.
: With a 45 cc chamber, and this combo I
: expect about a 10:1 CR with 232 cid. Check
: out Hastings web site, they have lots of
: good info on all types of engine related
