Bottom ends...

And im talking about engines, before the crude ones appear on this thread...

Ive got the 2.3 crank and con rods, with ATR pistons. Will this go into my H22A5 block ? if not, i know it will fit a H22A / A2, or a H23 block!

you need a 50mm block, IIRC the a5 is a 55mm one but i maybe wrong!

Im pretty sure mines a 50, and the rest are 55. I dunno

I just took mine out to my cousins, removed them bits you told me too, let it warm up and drove it home. Responds loads nicer now. Give her a beating

A5 is a 50mm crank. A7 & A8 are 55mm for the higher compression IIRC

So, the 2.3 crank is hould be fine with alex in my bottom end ?

If its a 50mm crank yeah. Wouldn't have thought the 2.3 had higher compression to warrant the 55mm crank but don't know much about the 23 motor

H22a2,3 & 4 are all 50mm
a5,6,7 & 8 are 55mm.
Type S Ludes are based on an a4 engine and un until early 1997 use a 50mm crank. After that they are 55mm i think. But Im not sure regarding the Type S.
