Mine did. I found chunks of it between the sleeve and case. Caused me some tuning problems to say the least.:weird: I cleaned out the motor and removed the chunks of silicone. What will this do to the performance/runtime of this motor, lacking the insert? Runs great now that I figured out what was going on. It rips now, idles without stalling, and then doesn't load up/stall when I grab a handfull.;) Anybody? Also if anyone needs a brand new cooling head Extech NIB let me know will sell cheap. |

same motor the rod will fit when they get them. Someone also said the Werks B5 and Sirio Evo 4 rod will work also. I have a Extech II .21 rod I changed after break-in it is almost new. |

so... what happens if you use a slightly shorter conrod in your engine?
|
I think the sirio ,orion , werks ,use the length rod right now i'm using a sirio evo 4 sti p/s ,rod,case and a werks b5 crankshaft and engine runs good. Will see if any better or worse when i race this weekend.

The answer to your question, how ever, is it will change port timing.. Which could be good or bad, depending on which way it changes, and depending on your driving style.. I'm not a tuner, so I don't know which way will do what. One, thing I do know for sure if you only change the crank to a shorter stroked crank, you will loose some compression, same would be true if using a shorter rod. |

The Rods are the same length from Sirio & Trinity.. But, rod length Does not determine your Stroke.. The Crank determines your Stroke..

Has same bore and stoke so it should fit.

sirio cl7 sti and the evo4 sti use the same rod [ same part number]it all about the crankshaft stoke. I gained the compression by removing a shim and i will watch it close. Not for beginers. 16.62 evo vs werks b5 16.50 crankshaft
I have a STi Evo 4 that needed new crank, I have a werks B7 I was considering swapping into, it, but decided against it, becuase none of the modders or manufacturers would give me any idea how well it would work.. one said it coudl either increase bottom end or loose bottom end.. Considering I wanted more, it was a gamble I decided against.. I ended up with a nice used RB S5, and am glad I got it.. |
Trial and error, my crank is wearing at the pin on my evo4 so that why am trying the b5 crank because its close .You cant find part on a sirio 4 sti anymore and the b5 crank has hardly no wear so what the hell.BTW the evo4is the best engine I have ran.I wished they still made parts for that engine,very smooth and powerful at the same time.

We re-fill the cranks on a lot of Sirio trinity engines, They are notoriuos for the epoxy coming out. We charge $15 you can run it without, like another member stated ,but it will run better with the epoxy in. With the epoxy out it enlarges crankcase volume, so you will lose responsiveness and a bit of runtime. Lance, Rcrenew.com |
