Probably a question only few may know, what is the rod side bearing clearance and how wide exactly are the rods on the big end?

I believe it is 0.006.

- Rod lower end width 924S/944/S/S2/951/968 29.0mm
- Rod lower end diameter 55.0mm
- Piston wrist pin diameter 24mm
- Rod upper end width 26.5mm
- Piston opening width for the rod upper end 30,5mm +/- something depending on pistons

I found another source that says the big end width of the rods are .856" or about 21.7424mm.... Ide like to confirm with another opinion if I could

Mike Simard

The big end width is absolutly not 21.7, what source said that? Erkka is a reliable source of data, you can trust him. BTW, the maximum width of the crankpin is 54.13mm. What do you have planned?

Vilhuer

Thank Mike. Everyone can make mistakes but I think this time 27mm is correct. 21.7424mm would be very strange measurement for German company to use.

I saw on a pauter rod website the 928 porsche b.e. width listed as .856, lol. It seemed very small, I should have just thrown up the link instead of openly doubted you. My appologies
