HI,
Just spoke toEuropean Motorworks regarding the 96mm cylinders that they supply. They have them made in the US and the qc is as good or better than honing your 1.8 or 2.0 jugs. I decided to take a chance and go with them. Also decided to try their rods. You save about 250 grams of rotating mass per rod and they come with ARP bolts. Anyone else have experience with these products? I'll let you know what happens when I open the box. Carlos |

Has anyone else used their rods before? I'd be interested just in the extra weight savings. Seems like enough to make a noticeable difference.

QUOTE(CMONNETT @ Aug 21 2012, 03:53 PM)  Has anyone else used their rods before? I'd be interested just in the extra weight savings. Seems like enough to make a noticeable difference. George and I talked about these as well. We had talked about using my 66mm crank and redrilling it to match the journals on the H beam 2L rods. Thus making a crazy combo of 2054cc or something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Since I made a point to tell him I did not want any Chinese crap in my motor, he did admit the rods were Chinese, but were of great quality. He said if he thought they were junk he wouldn't use them. |
