just to check some prices

[Christo Atanasov]

10x Paul,
Yesterday I found a set of used NG pistons for about $115.
Can some confirm that diametar of NG wrist pin is identical to diameter of
wrist pin of my 2.2, so I can use my old set of connection rods and pins.
Is this conclusion true - if my engine is 10:1CR, and NG is 10:1 so distance
between center of wrist pin hole and top of the piston is same.

regards,
Christo
