beerhead Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 The plan is to run 3SGTE rods. The 5SFE run 52mm rod bearings and the 3SGTE run 48mm. It gives you a bit of play with stoke at the right machine shop and should hopefully mean I won't need any custom pistons or rods. I only need to machine off as much of the piston to bump the compression from 9.5 - 10.5 : 1, possibly 1 - 2 mm, the rest can be done with a thin head gasket. They're a dished piston and machining a little off the edges won't actually touch the integrity of the piston in the center, I think they're thick enough to handle it, and this motor will be built on a budget. I'll counter the shorter pistons with an offset reground crank. It'll be interference, but that's gonna happen with the cams I want to run anyhow.

KE25 Punk Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Guys.. Just re opening and old forum thread.. I'm looking into FE Cams for 7AFE.. I would like to run big cams but don't know where to get them (even reground them) Plus any info on how big you can go being that 7AFE is interference ?
