I have a question on 2.0 rods? Are most people using the stock rods when they build performance engines? Since there are not too many chioces.....What are you folks using?
I'm going to be running a C/W crank and JE 96mm flat top pistons on my 2056cc engine. |

Almost all my engines use a Type I rod combo.... I have the cranks and pistons made especially for it.
The 2.0 rod is heavy and weak ane more expensive for a rebuilt set than a H beam rod set that is 400 grams lighter and will hold 200 more HP. There are no aftermarket rods for the TIV using a stock journal unless you call Pauter ( I don't like theirs) or Carrillo ($$$ but worth every dime) I am working on a 2.0 replacement rod that will drop right in, and also another version that is longer for better rod ratios. BTW, if its a street engine the JEs may not be the best choice. The Keith Blacks are a much better street piston. They run quieter, burn less oil and are lighter- just as strong. |

Jake,
I gotta use my stock rods due to my 97mm Arias pistion's pin height which I posted about a few days ago. You said I need to get the weight down to 600 grams. So looking I'm for the best way to do this. Grind and clean it up or drill some holes like the picture above? Paul |
