lol

[ed1380]

i dont get it. are those rods from a car or from seperate motors

[oscaryu1]

They're all from Clones.

[ed1380]

and? so what. its a bunch of rods and ones missing the bottom half. and the title doesnt help

[Russ2251]

:huh:

[jr dragster Tyler]

Because no 2 clone rods are created equaly so basically you could have a good rod but worn out rod end cap. So alot of people replace JUST the rod end with another clone rod end which may be different a tad bit different. As you can see in Oscars post the rods are all different shades and colours. but if you buy a new rod and rod end in a pair then your guranteed to have a matching alloy and everything.

[Russ2251]

Connecting rods are essentially 1 piece and are sold as such. It's the way they are all manufactured. No 2 rods are identical. EVER!!!
I can see no reason for even considering this.
If rod is bad, cap is bad. And vice versa.
Not a new reason, the ONLY reason.

[jr dragster Tyler]

Yeah I guess. I would think that if the rod is worn so is the cap, so full replacement is a must anyways.

[Russ2251]

They're not sold any other way.

[ed1380]

who replaces just the rod bottom?

[Russ2251]

Apparently someone does.
I suspect the thread starter.

[oscaryu1]

iff you read somethign on another forum that goes with the pictue, how about copying it aswell instead of just linking the photo because there isnt anything interesting in the photo for us to find.

just 6 rods.

[ed1380]

:offtopic: Ed I dont get it.

this thread reminded me of DEI. direct exhaust injection. bypass the turbo and just dump the exhaust into the intake. with ever revolution of the engine you get more and more boost as more and more exhaust gets ommited

[oscaryu1]

Anybody know how many different rods are out there in the clones ??? Here's 6....A good reason why you should never switch end caps....

Heh, big difference.

if you dont what?

this reminds me of DEI. great idea.

If you don't find it interesting. Sheesh man, I didn't create this thread so I can get flamed. If you wanna be a jerk, look elsewhere.

[ed1380]

WTF? i wasnt flaming you.

Just imagine the kind of boost pressure you get outa that setup!!:roflol:

[oscaryu1]

o. thats the internet for you.


No, I don't like drama, I prefer comedy. I'm a serious type of guy, if you haven't noticed.

grow up Yeah, you're SO much more mature than me.

I need to start using those, shouldn't I?

[jr dragster Tyler]

And there IS a difference in those rods. Notice the rod's with the little dimple at the top of the rod ALSO have a dimple on the rod end cap? And the rod's that dont have a little dimple on the top ALSO dont have it on bottom. So that'sthe difference.

[oscaryu1]

...Which is why I posted up that pictures. People've started saying they're all made of different materials.
