Whatever. I don't really see the point of even bothering to put 2g pistons on 1g rods. If your stock motor is good, use it. If your stock motor isn't good, go with forged internals.


This isn't like the 3000gt's where the only rod option that is worth a shit is $1100

All that being said, Andrew...any machine shop with 1/2 a brain can follow the instructions on vfaq.com. I would shop around. I personally do not use the carquests, napa's, and red roosters for anything more than just flywheel machining (and that is rarely) as I have seen my fair share of mess-ups from "machine operators" at parts stores.
