Leo's book is the ultimate authority on that sort of thing - but that's my experience.
Thank you. This is exactly what I'm looking for. I'll probably pick up the book this week but it's always good to hear from people who have actually used the parts in question.
When racing the motor consistently see's 6800 to 7000 rpm.
Wow. With a shorter stroke and lighter piston, I'm fairly sure my lil 4 cyl won't subject the rods to anywhere near that much force.
