a friend of mine was telling me that its possible to put a 2.4 crankshaft in SOHC block. can anyone verify that this is true? its going to cost me $175 to bore my block out .20 over for the forged SOHC pistons and rods that i have, but i heard you would gain more torque and horsepower using the 2.4 internals, i suppose that my SOHC block has to be bored out to a 2.4L for everything to work correctly. So before i open up my rebuild kit...anyone know which would be better for my turbo setup? and what compression ratio my pistons should be for the 2.4?

 

as far as i know the 2.4 internals wont work on a 2.0
i was told that the 2.4 has a different stroke and rod length but im not positive

 

yea i just found that out from a few other Neon buddys, i guess my the guy that told me didnt know what he was talkin about...oh well....2.0 it is!

 

hey atleast it will be less work

 

You are correct on all points there.

 

i was wanting to find out if the srt4 pistons would work in my motor.......pissed me off that they wouldnt......i was told that the location on the wrist pis is different[:@]

 

Nope won't work....if you had a 2.4L engine, they would work

 

thanks for the info guys

 

i know....thats why i dont have them
