720kid Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Im rebuilding my z22 and one of my piston rods is shot looking for a replacment or tips on what other rods i can use Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 This is for a 720 engine? The L20B rod is identical. Both are 145.9mm between crank center line and piston pin center line.

Hondanx250 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not sure if the z20 connecting rod is the same length, but they still have it listed on Nissan parts deal Quote Link to comment

720kid Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have some z24 rods will they work Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 They are incredibly long and if used on the shortest stroke engine (L16/18) the piston pin height would have to be around 25mm. That's under an inch and there's no room left for the rings above it. Quote Link to comment
