Dan Baldwin Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Too long, where'd you hear that? Use the later ('72+?, '73 only?) L24 rods with 9mm bolts. Do NOT use L28 rods (too short) or L20 rods (too long). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 while im rebuilding my engine is there anything i should do to the rods (other than balance them with the rest of the assembly)... any kind of coating thats good? anybody?

katman Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 What's the application? If it's anything near stock then balance, straighten, and resize if necessary. If it's race then a beam grind and shot peen is nice. Titanium is REALLY nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 If you really wanted yes they can be coated, or polished - the purpose of such is for oil drainage speed, ergo nothing will want to stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron240zxt Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Hello, As for what to do for the rods, I'll have to say, Polished,shot peen, magnaflexed (for cracks) Balanced, And Arp Studs. Good luck Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
