6.0L LQ4 changing rod to 6.125? I am slowly putting this project together and ran into another complication. I have diamond making my pistons for 4.030 with L92 valve reiefs. The part number is 511543. These are originally for 4.065 bore but they changed the cad to produce a 4.030 for me. My issue is, These pistons were designed for a 6.125 rod and my stock rods are 6.098.
My plan is to purchase a set of rods in 6.125 to fit the pistons properly but my? is...Will I run into any problems?
I realize the pin and everything changed in the piston to use these rods but what all changes then?
My crank is stock but my rods will now be 6.125 and my pistons will be 11543 programed in the cad to be 4.030.
Bottom line, Can I use 6.125 rods in an lq4?
