COME SI MONTANO I PISTONI... E COS'È DAVVERO LO SQUISH? | Delta Gruppo A EP.2

The Lancia Delta Integrale Group A project continues. After analyzing the engine and verifying all the key tolerances, one of the most delicate moments of the entire preparation process arrives: installing the pistons and connecting rods. But before finally closing the engine, there's a check that can make the difference between a reliable engine and one destined to have problems from the very first kilometers: squish. In this episode, I'll show you how to properly install pistons, what precautions to take during assembly, and, above all, I'll explain in simple terms what squish is, why it's so important, and how to actually measure it. Many talk about it, few actually check it. An incorrect measurement can compromise combustion, performance, reliability, and, in the worst cases, cause contact between the piston and the cylinder head, with very costly consequences. In this episode, you'll see: Assembling the stamped pistons Assembling the H-shaped connecting rods Correct component orientation Checking the squish with a practical method This series isn't just about the rebirth of one of the most iconic cars in rally history, but also about entering the world of engine tuning, showcasing techniques, measurements, and processes that normally remain behind the scenes. The ultimate goal is to create a true Group A-inspired engine, more powerful, more reliable, and built with the utmost attention to detail.
