I'm just building a 60s 1098 Midget engine.

I ordered a set when I built my 1060. They were softer than cheese, I thought there was more risk of the bolt eating into them and they working loose. So I never used them. I did buy a set of ARP bolts as they were cheap.
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Can you change the rods for A+ type with bolts? Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

The A+ bolts are specifically designed not to require tabs. I read them as described as "stretch" bolts, so I'm guessing they are less prone to coming loose if they have less give. I've got a spare set of once used A+ rod bolts, so I'm going to pop them in. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

I suppose the originals worked great for many years, but the reservation id have is already covered in that you’ve no idea what the original matl spec was and no idea that what you buy is a suitable equivalent.

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