[Fot] GT6 Connecting rods

[Barr, Scott]

Do the TR6/GT6 Carrillos have the same teeny-tiny little rod bolts that the Carrillos for my 1500 Spit do?  I think they're 1/4", with a torque spec of something like 18 lb/ft?  I just don't like those.  Granted, never had one fail, but I also have been replacing them every once in a while at something like $37 per bolt.  You're supposed to inspect them frequently by checking to see whether they have stretched at all, but I've never come up with a really reliable way of comparing the length of one particular rod bolt upon disassembly against its length at assembly.

The most cost effective thing you can do to your engine is spend a lot of money on a set of Carrillo's!
Mine are about 16 years old.

Also am still searching for an aluminum flywheel without having something custom made. and would like input on what type of clutch to use as well . Lets call it a race car for the sake of argument....
