Jack, I would have to agree with you on the aluminum
rod issue. So long as you keep them under compression,
they are as reliable as steel. The only time I had
problems with aluminum rods is when I decelerated the
engine (as in road racing application). Aluminum rods
are not that happy on decel. Kind of like stretching
taffy with the accompanying snap.
