no, cl-s rods are longer. 3.5 rods are shorter. what i was trying to say using the 3.5 crank would increase the stroke both down/up, so the longer cl-s rod would hit valves going up.

That's what I said.

Just a little update. I got my car back a week ago, they replaced the block and tranny. One thing I noticed right away is the detuned tranny. It defiantly has less aggressive shifts under WOT. My old tranny used to break the tires loose in second but this one doesn’t. The other thing I noticed is that the car is making the exact same ticking sound as before. Makes me wonder if the block really needed to be changed. They didn’t even do any test to determine whether I had piston slap, they just based there information from the noise.

I’m going to try and put together a video to show you guys the noise

john a 235/40/17 tire is significantly SHORTER THAN THE 215/50/17 ...for that matter a 235/45 is slightly shorter than the 215/50
