Scott, anytime you can reduce reciprocating weight parts last longer & more power is available. I had a set of rods in the 350 TT project that I have been involved with forever. The engine held up very well with zero problems with the aluminum rods that were in it. I also noticed that the bearings were as new when ever I pulled it down for inspection. I attributed that to those rods & was impressed that when it came time to rebuild the engine. $1000.00 was invested in a set of GRP aluminum rods. I don't mean to disagree with any of the experts but I would call the manufacturer for their advise & go with that.

[cruzn57]

You're ALL wrong...

It's a inline Volvo 5 cylinder:tongue: So, I've learned that if a steel rod breaks in an aluminum block windows appear. What happens if a aluminum rod breaks in a iron block? Any damage?

BTW - Thanks for the info Lou.

The only thing I can't ever remember is breaking a rod in a turbo engine. Everything else is another story .

LOOK CLOSER. To the far left, the is the big end of the rods curve in the shadow. Then you can see the other 7 your "regular eye's" can see. My eyes are blue, yours are brown from all the doo doo coming out of your brain

 

[cruzn57]

good eyes,grasshopper (said in my best kung fu accent)

I don't see it, but then I don't see alot of stuff,
I do see a space where one should be.
volvo 5 cyl huh,? I claim BS!
its a mercedes 5 cyl, diesel conversion, with tripe turbos, and double intercoolers, with quad spark plugs per cyl,

its getting deep!

 

[Alky V6]

While Scott mumbles to himself, dang it! I should have just taken a picture of 4 rods. Dang it!

your smoking crack again, please put the pipe down whiteboy, there is only 7 in the picture unless you can prove there is another one there you should have your eyes checked, shadows dont count as rods.:biggrin:

 

[cruzn57]
