Wich problems did you encoutered with the Manley rod? They are known to be good parts and it is still what I think since I use them on some builts.

It's always sad to see a projets like that splitted because of bearings issues...

Why are you using h type rods? Did you use Manley H beam again?

[Nico Leone]

I got H beam for the power ill be making, i reused the manley h beam rods in this motor. i am also getting carillio H beam for my second motor build.












well its all back together, with A/C !!

i am super excited to have A/C back in the car, which means those hot summer days in the rain i can see out the fog windows, on the hwy i can roll up the windows so its nice and quiet in the car driving along.
