The stroke will be shorter, and who knows if it will clear. Put it on make sure it wont hit the crank. The bottom piston skirt may or may not hit. Even if it clears it will be a big power loss. I would leave the old in if it isn't shot and just replace the wrist pin bearing/gaskets.

r u talking about the connecting rod, if so u need to split the crank itself to change the connecting rod, i think it has to be prssed out, rebalanced and trued up again

not sure i dont understand your question, do you need to change the connecting rod? is it dmagaed ? what is 1/4 inch shorter? do yo u have the correct piston ?if the rod takes a crap you dont fiddle with changing out rods thats a time consuming and waste of money too .yo u would buy another crank ,a blaster crank is really pretty cheap ,id get a +3mm stroker

[FLOTEK]

[blasterboy91]

its the stock piston...but i wanna use the aftermarket piston pin and the aftermarket bearing..the pin and bearing came from a .90 over bore package that i never used..
