Starwriter Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Call Trinity and ask them. Maybe it uses a copper head gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 What these guys are saying is what u need , u have a custom made pistons w a blaster cut done angle that's why u need to run the head that was given , I would just make Shure by checking the squish cause maybe u need a thicker bottom gasket and not so much a spacer plate or if everything is fine in dandy then u will just run that head the way it is with no head gasket just cilicone and torque to spec and UR good you don't use silicone, and you need a gasket, or o-rings, if made for it. call the guy you got it from and ask what he ran, to see how it was intended, first.

Okiepred Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 it uses a stock style bigbore gasket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okiepred Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I got ahold of the guy I bought the setup from and it is for a 4mil 110 rod! Mine is 115rod! So I guess it's either a spacer plate or new pistons? Vitos carries a 4mil base gasket that's not a plate just a thicker gasket would that be a good route to take? Thanks for all the input and help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 1. The guy you bought it from is a dumb ass. 2. A blaster piston IS the correct pin height for a long rod. That piston is a big bore blaster piston size. 3. If you really have a 5 mill problem, you can't fix it with a 2 mill spacer plate. 4. It's Trinity. It's fucked.

Okiepred Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Where can I find pistons that size for a 4mil 115 rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 either his engine ran like crap with ahuge squish and no real compression, or he probably had the spacer plate. judging by the thread spacing on the head studs, you have a 2mm height problem, which would be taken up by the spacer plate and extra gasket. the topend was complete? head/jugs/pistons? or, as mentioned, you may be hitting the head gasket if the head that came with it was relieved for stroke. like i said before, if it was short rod setup on longrod crank, the rings should be popping up.
