I was looking at various crankshafts for the 2.0. I noticed that some have type I and some have type IV rod journals. Is there any benifit from running the type IV journal?
I have noted that type I rod journal cranks seem to be substantially cheaper. The rods seem to be substantially cheaper as well. My intent for the engine is to build a 2.0 race engine for my 72. I figure If there is no structural benifit from running the type IV rod journals I might as well save a few bucks. thanks in advance for your responses. |
