piston / valve clearace questions (aftermarket cams)

[jaidedeye]

if i was to run ka24e pistons in a ka24de block will i have clearance issues with aftermarket cams?

[jaidedeye]

anyone?

not sure about the clearance, but I have heard the stock pistons in the KA24E are the weak point, along w/ the bearings. so im not sure why you want 24E internals in a 24DE?

Do you have some after market pistons already?

[jaidedeye]

well from what ive read the E pistons in the DE motor will net 11:1 compression...but im wondering if just running high compression forgerd pistons specifically for the DE would be better.

plans are to build a high compression big cam all motor/nitrous motor for my 84 S12.

and before ayone says anythig....NO, i dont want to boost. been there done that and i want to be different.
