They were "off the shelf" at that time and in nearly 20 years of use at up to 7,000 RPM's, I never had a failure. If I were doing a race engine today, I would check with Carillo.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Jack<br></div><div><br></div>

<p class="ydp2613608cyiv7407593947MsoNormal">This topic has come up several times. I have a fair number of friends who own speed shops and are great high performance engine builders. The consensus among all of them is to not do this unless you have a crank made with narrower journals
to create a big end to journal side clearance of no more that .006”. The idea with this and why all manufactures use close side clearance is to create a healthy dose of oil spray onto the cylinders, pistons and cam shaft. If you use the chevy rod on a standard
Triumph journal you have a side clearance of over .100” and all the spray just directs horizontally which does not help a thing. I have yet to find any engine spec that lists anything over .010” in all my 70+ years.</p>
