Rod comparison
« on: February 28, 2016, 12:13:56 pm »
I have to pull out some of the other rods I have but it appears that the rods I removed from a G4CS are the same as the ones in a 1991 4g63T.  Casting stamp is different but the size is nearly identical.  I am going to compare against a NT set and see what I see.  Pics to follow.
Current projects:  1992 Laser RS AWD - daily summer
                           1995 Talon Tsi AWD - daily winter
                           1989 2000GTX FWD - not sure where this is going yet
                           1991 Talon Tsi AWD - soon to be organ donor

4gcs is a beautiful block. The deck is 11mm taller. So that might be the slight dif.

Then google.
Then read old postings about it.
Then ask.

Deck is 6mm taller, stroke is 12mm longer. Uses same rods as 4g63 but taller pistons.

I haven't bothered with any actual measurements yet but naked eye readings say these rods are good for turbo application.  4G63T on Left, 4G63 NT DOHC center, G4CS SOHC right.

The NT rods in the middle look skinnier then the turbo 4g63t rod and the 2.4 rod looks beefy!
