JE / Callies don't clear
I was in the process of assembling a 408 that has a callies 4'' crank, callies rods (not compstars) and JE pistons, the problem is that with such high pin height and a -30cc dish on the piston it leaves no room in between the bottom of the piston and the top of the rod. I have called JE and callies and of course neither recomends clearencing their product. the callies rod is .213 from the top of the wrist pin to the top of the rod, I have .164 from the bottom of the piston to the top of the rod. I have also called and recieved measurements from many rod makers, none of which I can just install. So what rod does JE suggest? Any info on the subject is greatly appreciated and I automatically wasted $250 on balancing + whatever is needed to get this resolved thanks, Mason
