    S50 bore question

    so my s50 cylinders are tapered, if i bore the s50 to the s52 specs, (86.4mm)
    and i keep my s50 crank, and i throw in a set of s52 pistons. would i use the s50 rods or the s52 rods? are the pins the same?

    S52 pistons wont work. The pin height is different. You need an s52 crank too.

    Both rods are 135mm.

          If you can find some stock S52 pistons and crank you'd only need to overbore +.4mm and you can reuse your S50 rods.
