Hello everyone, I bought second-hand 4EFTE "first-gen" pistons and rods from an EP82 to replace the bent rods on cylinder numbers 1 and 4. While cleaning them up, I noticed on the rods I bought that the conrod notch is deeper than the ones that came from the car. Both rods are thick to be classified as Gen 1 rods but why are the rod caps different? Also, the pistons have differences as well as you can see in the other photos, the numbers on top are the same.
What am I supposed to do? I don't have a press to change pistons, so I just have to think about what to do about the rod caps. Keep them as is when assembling or should I put the rod caps from the car onto the rods I bought? (Reeeee "just buy new forged stuff", my circumstances cant lol)
Or a less complicated question, what exact generation did these come from?
