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 |

Thanks Colin,
Any review notes? This seems like a logical upgrade to me, as the price of these rods isn't too much higher than stock rebuilt ones. According to the OP, they save a full Kg of rotating mass (!!) in a 2 liter engine. That's a lot less weight the crank has to deal with at the top and bottom of every stroke. Seems like lightening the flywheel might also help, but I am not enough of an engineer to know what the pros and cons of that would be. I would think quicker throttle response? Less wear and tear on main/rod journals? Feel free to school/bash me. I have more room to learn than most. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |
