Ferdinand's Revenge Part 3

The next activity on my engine project is to select and modify the connecting rods and the lifters .
The picture shows the H-profile connecting rods after balancing.
You can see the grinding marks on the small end.
The weigth is within 0,2g balanced.

The connecting rods are 5.4 "long, because I prefer short connecting rods for street applications.

Weight stock connecting rods vs H-profile connecting rods



For the lifters I have also decided to use nice lightweight components,
These lifters and other lightweight components help to keep the valvetrain ligth and dynamical

Have a great week!
