Title: concerns about my con rods... Post by: red baron on March 09, 2010, 14:39:41 pm Hi folks,
I just purchased a set of modified VW 311B rods. but I have a little concern to use then because of the obvious inregularity on the shaft of the third rod. The others are fine. (http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hatmax1/DSC08971.jpg) Engine will be a 2007ccm with about 130HP. Do you guys have any opinions about that?! cheers max Title: Re: concerns about my con rods...

Those 311 rods are good for more hp than a 2007 this is the only thing that is positive. I thought about that before - but despite that I dont like that quality....hmmmm what to do...?!

Regarding to your rods i think it depends on the rpm's you want to make.

after all I'm really sad that I tried to save some money instead of directly send you mine. I got some things for sale right now - so you are gonna hear from me, to modify my rods. We've already spoken about that a while ago. cheerio max |
