Plan- |
|
|
One more item that I am adding as part of my
rod knock rebuild
is a set of aftermarket rods. I looked at
Carillo, Eagle, and others, and decided on
Crower.
I went with steel as the titanium was way out of my price range.
The biggest reason I'm going aftermarket is weight. |

Stock rods are good for 500 hp.
The stock rods can be lightened (weight), shot peened (strength),
magnufluxed (strength), and balanced to increase their reliability.
