con rods

[viggen]

Hi a question is it possible to change the rods with the sump off or do you need to take the piston out with the head off?

head and sump off

Pete is spot on, sump of to undo the rods from the crank then pistons out to pull the pins out that hold them there so basically take the block apart :(

to continue on theme...

ok so the rods can bend when the engine is pushed... what rods would not bend, and how much are they?

Those, Sten Parner rods, the ones from Don @ Kalmar, basically anything rated a fair bit higher than the power you want :D

Erm.....I'm sure I can send you something in the post....do you live anywhere near water? If not then I'm sure I can send you a speedboat that you have no chance to EVER use or a car that you have to share with a friend (ala Bullseye) :D

What boost will one of our engines run with steel rods? Assuming the turbo, injectors etc could keep up.

Hi Saaamon :)

Depends on the quality of the rods you buy :smile: I have run 33 psi so far and would be happy to run more if needed once my block is finished as with everything you get what you pay for.

Good luck :)
