i am mocking up a 2276 with a vw journal crank, eagle porsche length rods and mahle 94B pistons.
the problem i found is that the rods and piston come against eachother at BTC. just bareley, but my question is do i sand of a bit on the piston (the edge of the skirt just above the pinboss) or do i sand down the cap of the rod. the rod seems to be coated, if these were stock(ish) rods i would sand them down, now i am biased.

I would clearance the piston, but whatever you do, FYI, you'll need to re-balance the pistons after you've done clearance, unless you have not done that yet. But if picturing it right, do the pistons. Any pics you can post?

my thought is going out to the pistons as well and indeed i need to weigh them in anyway. the rods are a matching set. i'll post pics later.

so off i am to the caves again.
