also, does an aluminum flywheel mean its billet aluminum

 

[dpaxson]

aluminum doesn't necessarily mean billet. some engines used cast alumium flywheels stock, but they aren't any stronger than the cast iron ones iirc.

That rod is treated aluminum. Billet means it was shaped from one solid block of material.

Can you tell me how much a billet rod is worth. Id like to buy one used as money doesnt grow on trees.

im looking at gecker motor sport website. They have a few rod options. Could anyone take a look and tell me what rod i need. I am installing the rod for safety at high rpms. I may go with the arc rod in the link you sent me. Good price. How hard is it to remove the wrist pin and reinstall the piston?

 

[freakboy]

not hard at all.

I am sure it has a C Clip.

 

[EagleTalons]

How high of RPM are you going?

I dont know. Ill rev it until it cant rev.I ordered a tach so i can keep an eye on the revs before i get the rod. Ill obviously still use it with a new rod. Right now my engine has a raptor 1 rod. I had to put it in because the other rod and piston were SHOT. Thats a different story. Should i worry about the raptor 1 rod thats being used as a substitute? I am eventually(this is the plan for now) going to get a clone and do some basic work to it. This is for a doodlebug i just got.

note that valve float will probably restrict the engine from reving at some point... installing stiffer valve springs will allow it to run faster... but i wont advise it on a stock rod...

the one linked is NOT billet... and a "aluminium" flywheel is just a cast alu flywheel... if its a billet one it will be written BILLET and it will look like that... both rod and fly here are billet
