Nic and all, What do think of those "KMJ" billet 4340, 6", lg. jrnl. rods? 410 grams,, before they get "skinny" on the bottom? Up to 1,000 horseys'-should be enough. I'm hopin they don't wind-up with a "needle" bearing on the top instead of a bushing? roverman.

For the Rotus Brossom? They seem frickin' bitchin' to me. That's pretty light. Are you saying we should put needle bearings at the top? I haven't heard of that before...

Nic, OH-NO! LOL. left-over from KMJ's bushings in the needle rockers. Needles on the wrist pin "only" works in "two-strokes" the combustion pressure is less than 4 strokes. Rods are for 4.735L Rover in "Huffaker GT-1 car at The Silver State".roverman.
