I find the easiest way is to super glue the bolt to the end of one of my fingers. ______________________________________________________ |

Can you not grind the crank down?
I seriously doubt it! |

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I would use modified A+ items.

I hope im right in saying that rod bolts normally go before rods themselves, so i personally think a well work a+ rod will be fine.

i do have rover A+ rod bolts in my twinnie engines, these are now NLA so its ARP from now on,

Thanks surfari. Quite a few people believe the standard rod bolts are a weak point. I personally would always use ARP in anything but a standard rebuild. I'm believe the late A+ bolts were supposed to be ok. Again I remember seeing a thread a long time since in which Carl Austin said he used late Metro bolts in his builds. Whether he has changed his opinion or not since then I don't know. |
