What Rods based on weight and engine revs?
Just found out my used Oliver rods won´t go into the rebuilt engine. Too much distortion and some misterious damage on one of them. So, time to buy a new set!
I searched a lot but couldn´t find any specific thread discussing rod weight and rev limit. Right now I´m between BR Crower and Oliver, based on the infos I have. What you guys think?
Scat H-Beams: cheap / unknown weight / unknown rev limit (I wouldn´t rev them over 8000, tough)
Manley H-beams: cheap / unknown / unknown rev limit
Manley I-beams: $700 / unknown / unknown, but should be capable of 8000+ RPM
Oliver standard: $700ish / 597g / said to take up to 9000RPM
Pauter: $850 / 650g / unknown, but should be capable of 8000+ RPM
Carrillo: $1000 / 567g / for that price should be able to rev high as hell
Specs of the engine: 2.0 liters, JE 86mm pistons, OEM crank, ACL race bearings, BS deleted, ARP head and main studs, Kelford 272 cams, GSC beehive springs with titanium retainers, stock valves. Car is intended for road racing, so power will be around 400whp for a broad power band.
