2.7 leads to piston above deck..

[Kozworth]

I had an eta block honed and o ringed. While I was at the shop.. I had a set of eta Rods/pistons and a set of I pistons/rods. I am just building the eta bottom with I piston and head.

Told the guy to swap the eta pistons off the rods, and then swap the I pistons to the eta Rods.

I just got to installing the engine and the piston at Tdc is above the deck. This isn't normal correct? Can a thicker head gasket fix this? Block/head is not milled.

Did the machine shop put the I pistons somehow on the same rods? As if they pulled all the pistons off and got the rods mixed up.

That is not an i piston.

Looks like you have an eta piston on an i rod.

So the guys probably flipped around what I said?

Damnit

So thats the I piston?

Man... I am pretty bummed. Paid 70 to mount these pistons a few months ago, project got on hold because of moeny issues. Now i have a wrong setup, and they never gave me back the rods, but they gave me the i pistons in a box. Bummer!
