Re: Rods - Aluminum or Steel

Aluminum rods would work ok if they clear your cam and you notch your cylinder
walls . Outlaw sprinters change aluminum rods every 250 miles . It's not the
same thing but that's a lot of runs at Bonneville . Either because they are
lighter or because the big ends stay rounder under load or some other reason ,
bearings work better in aluminum rods though that shouldn't be a factor with
your engine .
