<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My opinion and I’m sticking to it!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, Could anybody tell me what rods you are using on a Moldex crank that is sized for a Chevy rod. This is for a TR3/4 engine. Pat number, size or application would help. Thanks in advance. Lorne<o:p></o:p></p>
