Here comes the first new turbo engine
Well, .... I had to get something to putt around in !!
I guess a 5.4L Super Charged V-8 will do OK!!  ; )
Chrysler moved the piston down another .100" to get 8.2:1 compression, .... what a stupid way to do it!
It is another powder metal rod w/cracked cap ...
It does look much better. Almost 1/8" narrower than the T-2 rod along the beam.
The jet oiling we kept hearing about, ... is the same squirt hole in the rod as on the 2.5 rods
new rod
T-2 rod
Wiseco
PT Turbo
The Wiseco's come up to within .030" of the top and make 8.6:1 comp, with a nice quench area.
Down -.300" !!
     WHY?!
T-2 forged rod
PT Turbo rod
Oil pump appears to be larger
             ^ ^
The deck of the stock PT Turbo piston is not very thick, so if you need more valve clearence, you'll be hurting.        The Wisecos are  ... s-w-e-e-t !!
