kyteler Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 You after things that won't leak? The only Japanese -> Ford stuff that's popping into me noggin at the moment is the use of L16/18 Datsun cranks in the Kent blocks? Maybe it's Pinto blocks.. I forget. I imagine though it is highly likely there is a piston equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 what's the bore size of a pinto? find that out and go through the ACL piston catalogue finding pistons with the same or slightly larger bore size and then put together a list of 'maybes' and then look at each of them individually regarding piston pin size and crown height from the pin etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 ej20 are 92mm so slight over bore needed. could measure them up ect tho re pin height n dia.... why tho? good range available for them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrupt Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I know of a dude using some sort of subaru pistons in his turbo pinto, he was also saying hes getting custom rods made up to suit though, ill ask him next time i see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forced Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Mitsi 6G72 are 91.1mm, got lots in my garage. Only mine are for a 4 valve head. Pajero 3.0, V3000 etc are a 2 valve head and same size but don't have any. Do you want the compression height measuring? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
