What are the advantages of H-Beam rods over stock rods in a 2.0L motor? I know the H-Beams are lighter and stronger but in terms of performance what are the advantages of using the lighter rods?

Woody,
I love 5.325" rods with an 80 crank, it'll snatch your head off. I've been using them since around 1995 :-) |

Woody, I love 5.325" rods with an 80 crank, it'll snatch your head off. I've been using them since around 1995 :-) Thanks Jake I appreciate the input. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I sure had an adventure making the rods clear the cam. The cam is on a reduced base circle and the rods are 2" on the big end. I don't see how you could go much bigger on the stroke. Now to get the rods balanced again. The nice thing is the deck height is right at .005 without shims. I'm going to run it at .040. |
