Title: 5.5" Rods --86mm stroke ? Post by: T11964 on March 25, 2008, 08:44:16 am Have a 86mm Berg Crank and a set 5.5 Carrillo , bought years ago at Bergs.
I now has 2. thoughts about the lenght off rods , now all uses longer rods. When I bought it ,Bergs said that this was what they recommended. Any opinions on this ?

well the 5.500" rod you have are good for the 86mm crank.Of course it's quite triky when it's time to put the piston and cylinder with this combo (you will have to chek piston skirt clearanca at BDC). I run this combo and works very fine!!.You will have more side load on the cylinder with those short rod comparing with the longer available today.And of course to go upper than 7500rpm longer would be better so as aked you ritchie,for what use is the engine? ps:if you decide to go other rod please tell me ;D ;D Title: Re: 5.5" Rods --86mm stroke ?

Street is what it`s all about (maybe 1 go at the strip) jr59 , the rods are for Buick/porsche journals and the crank has all T4 mains. Engine will be 86x 4" with JPM heads ( got them thursday , yahoo). Regards Claus. Title: Re: 5.5" Rods --86mm stroke ? Post by: oldbug on April 02, 2008, 06:14:36 am hi claus,
have you got pictures of your JPM heads, just for fun ? ;) Title: Re: 5.5" Rods --86mm stroke ? Post by: John Rayburn on April 09, 2008, 04:51:25 am I like short rods in a heavy street car. It will build the torque your car needs to get moving.
