was it timed right? I don't think you should have any problems with it rotating it even with a felpro. the custom length rods are longer but they aren't THAT much longer and if I remember correct when using stock rods, the piston sits a good distance below the deck height. sounds weird to me. i'm almost to the point in which i'll be assembling my top end so i'll go through the same process with the exact same parts by this weekend.

dang! I've heard that d15's will stick above the deck height but I didn't know d16's were like that.

perhaps you should have went with standard length rods with vitaras for the d15.
