The Project Pad

Does anyone know off hand the specs to the AAF deck height? I'm ordering pistons this week. 2.5L Eurovan motor

Maybe you can find some info on this link

http://www.eurospecsport.com/index.htm

Over on MG user DDG could probably give some info too. I’m not sure but he might be over with different user name??? I’m sure someone here knows but it’s not me.

IIRC 236mm

236 mm for AAT & AEL, unsure of AAF.

if you are ordering custom pistons, measure youre damn block!!!!! it would suck to get customs and realize yours was skimmed

and CORRECTION per mr Hank its 236.25mm

^^^ agree on measuring first to be sure.

When I sent my TDI block to Hank, he was very diligent and measured everything just to be sure. Good thing, because he noticed the cc on the combustion chamber wasn't quite right with the supplied pistons and rods. Long story short, he deduced (via plenty of mathing, I'm sure) that the 160mm rods were no good and swapped them for 159mm rods to get everything back to butter. Proof of being a solid guy, he didn't even charge a restocking fee... and I didn't buy the DMF rods from him, Marcel did.

No disrespect to Hank of course, but I seem to remember that stock rod length for the 95.5mm stroke tall deck blocks is 159mm.

We got it figured out. I bought a 12" caliper and measured. Jeff and I are working on pistons right now

Several measurements resulted in 9.333 - 9.335"

Craziness. Sorry for the trouble on that, Dustin.

Not at all! There's a learning curve to be expected when building a unicorn.
