In an engine revving to 6k rpm the standard bolts are MORE than up to the job. If they werent then you'd see a lot more failures than you do.

I'm all for people learning but judging by the questions you have been asking and the mistakes/problems you have had I would serious recommend you find someone local to double check your work or this engine rebuild will end up and expensive pile of scrap parts.

basically my advise is spend the cash if you need the part, it might cost 90quid now but will cost 5+ times over if the said part lets go
Yes i moved to the darkside |

I'd recheck the size of the rods after doing this. Tightening up rod bolts until they break has guaranteed fucked up the rod.

I just want to rebuild my engine maybe little bit better than it would be standard one. my target is to run it on 9-10psi for now. is it would be ok with standard engine? later on I hope to change clutch, rocker assembly and maybe to upgrade my gearbox and rise psi till 13-15. So which ones of 4 options (or other) you would go for? Thank you for help!! Edited by chominsh on 12th Jun, 2010. Nothing special! |
