I just had an unfortunate epiphany on the way home from work.
I bought a 6 bolt 94mm stroker crank for my new build using a 6 bolt block.
So far so good.
My normal piston supplier has 2g style forged pistons for to accommodate that crank with it's offset wrist pin. I thought I would be tricky and use the above Arias "2g" piston and then get Scat "2g" rods to use with my Eagle 6 bolt stroker crank.
Suddenly I realized I had never compared the big ends from 1g to 2g. Is one wider than the next? Are these aftermarket parts normalized so one works for both in terms of actual rod thickness? I realize the thickness might be an issue.
This is a real cluster*&$# since I already have all the parts.
Sorry for the complicated message.
