sohc pistons in dohc with stock rods???

[solow240]

Just wandering if anyone on here can help me out, would sohc pistons in a dohc make the compressrion ratio high enough to bend a stock rod? Does anyone have any information about this?? Thanks in advance for all your help!

No.The stock rotating assy on Nissans is one of the toughest, although if you take the time to build a motor, then you should polish the rods, or buy after market with out the oil hole.

When doing the SOHC piston swap, its only the pistons right? Can we keep the dual cams rods? Or do we need to find SOHC pistons AND rods?

So the stock rods will be fine?? If i polish them... Thanks about anyone else wanna throw there 2 cents in???

[solow240]

Does any one else have any input?? I just got the block back from the machine shop, and im gonna start building...

I'm interested in this too. I need to replace my piston rings so I though, hey while I'm at it, why not put in some SOHC pistons.

So let me know how it turns out. I just started researching this.

DOHC rods are the same size and length... they should work.

I'm doing this for the same reason as you... I need new rings and SOHC pistons are only like $120 to my door.

The only problem I see is that I cant tell if they are the 11:1 or the 11.7:1 pistons... I kind of hope they are the 11 to 1 set, because I don't feel like going much higher than that in my DD.

Most of the brand new aftermarket sets are 11:1.
