The pistons do rise above the deck by something like 0.75mm IIRC. That's the basis of measuring rod bending in 3.5s. There's the thickness of the gasket and reliefs in the piston to prevent valve...

You should at least check that the head bolts are within stretch limit before retorquing.

Don't forget the bolts into the timing chain cover and ones by the power steering pump bracket.

Oh, it's a one in two chance since the crank only registers TDC when #1 and #6 are at TDC.

Here's the shortcut I should have given earlier - set the cam alignment marks so you know you're at #1 ignition TDC. The marks don't align at #6 ignition TDC. Then advance the crank to 14* ATDC.

The rods and cap pairs are marked. On the ones I've seen there's a piece of tape with a handwritten numeral on the rod and cap. That must be some special tape to hang on to a hot oily rod over...

Michael, I have 6 caps off a 3.5. I'm pretty sure the caps aren't bent :)

I agree with RRG that rod and cap should be replaced as a matched set. If you get a replacement rod, have all 6 balanced...

Eddie,

1) All US cars with the 3.5 engine came with 17 casting heads. 19, 20, 22 were supplied as replacements. If someone claims a 22 was original equipment, I'd look for what other lies s/he...

What new hardware? Bolts?

The con rod cap bolts have a diameter spec for the necked down area. Spec for new is something like 7.4mm, discard at 7.1mm or less. I think there are similar specs...

I believe -18- is a turbo head. gsxr will know for sure.

The casting number is 603 016 18 01 but the 60 is sometimes shaved off when machining the #2 or #3 injector pocket in replacement heads.

There are lots of serviceable -14- heads available. If a knowledgable machinist inspects and clears a -14- head, that might be the economical option. I expressed personal preference when I...

Any head off a US spec 603 will fit. .96 and .97 heads use different prechambers and injectors. .96 prechambers can be modified to fit a .97 head. Makes no sense to adapt .97 prechambers to the...
