Long story short. Bought this car with unknown shortblock. Added a fullrace twinscroll and gtx35. Car overheated and head was redone and reassembled with new valve train etc... Car is running good, pulls excellent vacuum and compression. There is just an annoying tick which we are assuming is pistons slap since the AEM is detecting slight knock. Pulled oil pan off and the block has Manley pistons/Rods and what appears to be a stroker crank. One of the pistons piston/wall clearance is very loose so im thinking thats the culprit. Oil squirters are cut and bent to accommodate the larger crank im assuming. Could this maybe be a Buschur stroker block? Ive included some pics as well as identifying numbers to help out. I just want to get this car up and running but need to know correct parts to order. Thanks for all your help.

Pistons are marked Manley with the number 57012 under it and 2107 where the wristpin is. The crank is marked 210 with a 12 under it. Ill let the pics speak for themselves. Thanks.

If this is a custom piston then one of those numbers could be a job number. Call who ever makes the pistons and see if it was a custom piston or off the shelf. If its a job number then they may be able to let you know who got them made. I don't know about Manley pistons, but I know JE does this and would be able to let you know who the pistons were made for.

First off that is an OEM crank. 21012 are your main bearing ID numbers. You match those numbers with the ones stamped on the bottom of the block. I don't see any grinding done to the block for clearance. Like what Wicked said look up those numbers on the pistons. There really is no way to tell who built the block.

Buschur typically doesn't install oil squirters as far as I know, unless someone really specifies it.

Thanks for the help guys. If its a stock crank then its just a rod/pistons setup someone did. Ill just order some new .20 over manleys and call it a day. Thanks again.

Thats stupid to say. I've had oil squirters on all my BR motors. I'm pretty sure they always use squirters unless it's a build utilizing a 4G64 block.

Look on the under side of the piston. Does it say JE on it?

You're incorrect.

Our 2.0's and 2.3's use squirters, always have.


That is correct Josh.

My B! I have a 2.4 so I remember Dave saying he doesnt install them because they werent necessary, figured it carried over to the other blocks.

The rods look like Manley I-beams, by there shape.
