So I tried ordering pistons from Venolia today.
I had a previous job number of the pistons I wanted. They were for a 2.2L with a 0.020" overbore and stock compression.
Tom @ Venolia asked me if anything was to be altered on this particular job # or if I just want those made up. I said that instead of the stock compression I'd like to have the pistons dished, and told him it was for a Turbo application.
He then wanted to know a few things about the engine that I haven't been able to find.
CC's of the combustion chamber, and the head, and the gasket thickness, etc etc etc.
I was obviously ill-prepared and didn't have that information ready.
The reason I posted on here was to ask anyone if they had a Job # from Venolia for the LN2 2.2L GM engine which inlcuded the 0.020" overbore AND the 8:1 compression.
I did not post, however, to argue and discuss my reasons for lowering the compression.
If anyone can help me out, it would be much appreciated.
I emailed Mike and Cav.Conn. already (as that is where the Job # originated)
I was just hoping for a little help from
thanks again,

Mike got that job # from me. That job # is the original number for the pistons that I had made. The only thing altered is that the pistons are set up to use larger than stock wrist pins. If i were you, I would tell them to move the ring lands furthur down the piston since you are going turbo. When they made my pistons, I didnt request for the ring lands to be moved down.
Just so you know, that job # that you have was made off of a 9:1 compression piston from a 2200 {98-02). Your 96 2.2's cly head chambers are a different shape than the 2200's chambers. So if you use those pistons, the compression might not actually be 9:1 with your cly head. Your 96 2.2's piston also has a deeper dish than the 2200's piston. So there will be no telling what your compression would be if you use those 9:1s that were made for my 2200.

Steve, did you not get that job # from Tony? If so it will be for your engine and not the 98+, you should clarify this. Also, have you checked the NY J-bodies page, they have lots of specs on all the J engines, although I'm not sure if they have what you're looking for. Good luck, hit me up on MSN if you have any Q's. <br>

adler, you have mail
and alex you have mail as well.
I was un aware that these are the incorrect pistons for my engine.
Its funny now that you mention it, because I know of someone who used these exact pistons in HIS turbo setup.
NY J-body website library does not specificy the combustion chamber CC's.

You can use those pistons in your 96 2.2, but I wouldnt be forsure if the compression would really be 9:1. If the 95-97 and the 98-02 2.2 heads have the same chamber cc's, I believe the compression ratio would actually be 9:1 with those Venolia pistons.
I think I know the guy who u are talking about who used those 127669 Venolias in his 95-97 2.2s.
I could not find the 2200 head ccs, headgasket thickness, deck height, piston to valve clearance, etc. when I was trying to have a set of lower compression pistons made for my 2200. The best way to do find those specs would probably be to send a assembled block and head to your machine shop so they could measure and find the specs for you. I could have sworn that someone posted the cly head cc's for either the 95-97 or the 2200s on this message board.
Buy those JE's that Alex is selling. He is letting them go for a badass price!!!!

Can this part number be verified? is it for stock comp, stock wrist pins?
I want stock replacement forged aluminum pistons for my 97 2.2 but I cant find @!#$!!
HEEEELP me
when I said stock size i just meant stock comp, and stock wrist pins.
anyways i just noticed that cav con actually sells the venolias so ill just buy them there, i dont need a part # anymore.
damn way to bring back a thread from the dead there
order thru karo
