Not tearing in the engine yet, but has anyone here measured the Big end ID, small end ID, thickness and distance between both ends ??
I'm looking for stronger rods.

Thanks

Can't help you I am sorry.

But why do you want stronger rods? To my knowledge, this is not a weak point in the engine. I believe you will break the crank (engines 140hp and up from memory) before having problems with the rods.

 

I'd beat Roger would tell you!

Going to higher RPM, the crank will destroy itself, forced induction setups tend to bend the rods, on boosted bimmers 75-80 hp per rods is the upper stock rods limit.
I'm trying to find some cheap replacements first.
Mostly for next winter project.
