Well after searching online for my answer ive gotten myself confused, so i want to see what everyone on here says....I am using a 5sfe crankshaft for an upcoming engine build. My question comes in at, would i have to use a 5sfe rod/3sgte piston combo, or could i get away with using 3sgte rods and pistons. I remember reading somewhere that there is a company that makes 3sgte rods to fit the 5sfe crank. Anyone mind shedding some light on the topic?
Also, are there any other variables with using a 5sfe crank in a 3sgte block that i should be aware of? -------------------- (\__/)

Yes exactly. Anywho the 5sfe crank from what i can understand is an incredibly strong piece of equipment for what it is. Espcially when compared to the 3s crank which is a cast piece while the 5s is forged. And considering the price of a 5s crank used its a steal!
My plans revolve around this factor, and a forged rebuild in general. The extra space in the combustion chamber is just a bonus. There isnt anyone on these forums that has done this before? -------------------- (\__/)
