<div dir="auto">I know the piston is correct as we replaced it.
But James makes a good point to ponder, if the rod is too short,
it may change injector timing.

it's not traveling to close to the head as there would

Unless there was some other reason, but dont

He found the rod to be the same except it a

amount, maybe .005 or .010. Part number is
almost the same except last digit and now I'm
wondering if that could be someone's mistake.
Would shorter rod cause preignition? By the
way, there is no part number on the rods so
they would have to be accurately measured.</div>
