As far I run these rods I have up to 95 PSI pressure and if the engine gets
very during a hot weather race like in Assen the last weekend the pressure
drops down to 80PSI.
Idle pressure is 50PSI and after a hot weather race 35PSI.
Main points about the rod are:
They are cheap 8 rods for 500$
They are long
They are 40gr lighter than Carillos
Cheers
Chris

Betreff: Re: [Fot] chevy con-rods
the though of narrower rods at the big end region worries me.
I run an engine shop, and know from bitter experience, that excessive side
clearance at the big end, is a major source of engine rattles and loss of
oil pressure. most rods have a limit of about 0.005"-0.008" and in our race
engines, we run them down as low as we can get.
there are plenty of custom made rods for TR engines, so why would one bother
with an concept that has an intrinsic design flaw?
