Default 6.098 piston w/6.100 rod?

I see some pistons that ask for a 6.098 rod, but closest people sell is a 6.100 rod. No problems with that right? I figure it's such a small difference that it wouldn't matter.

Also the rods that are 6.100 have a .944 pin, and the pistons ask for .945. close enough?

thanks.

I don't know about the wrist pin diamater but I put a set of eagle h beam 6.100 rods in my 6.0 build that had stock 6.098 rods in it from the factory. The .002 thousands didn't seem to make a difference. I'm sure you'll be fine.

as far as the wrist pin diameter go's they have to be the same so the .944 rod won't work with the .945 piston

I wouldn't worry about .002, gives you more SCR and quench. LOL As far as pin, it very's. You should be okay. Check it to make sure though.
