R33 Rb25det Overheated

[boostdesigns]

Well i enjoyed my r33 for 2 whole days before it overheated due to a bad water pump so the head gasket is shot no big stress as i have already purchased the tomei headgasket and ARP head studs. my mechanic says it could have gotten the rings as well so i think i am going to go ahead and pull them as well. my question is i am going to purchase a set of GTR rods from DRUZILLA on the forum to go with my weisco pistons but i was looking at the specs and it seems the rb26 rods are 2mm longer than the rb25. will this matter? this must be how the rb26 is a 2.6 becouse the bore is the same just 2mm longer rods. any help or advice is appreciated. thanks

Rods and crank you will need.

Thats an expensive overheat, whats the rebuild going to cost?

around 1000.00 USD for it. its not that bad i guess becouse i was going to do it anyhow it just moved up my time table a little i guess. so if i use the GTR rods i haft to use the GTR cranks as well?????

The rods are not 2mm longer, the crank stroke is. afaik ,you can use rb26 rods with rb25 crank and pistons.
