    Opinions

     



    Hello all
    Trying to decide what type of rod to go with, a brushed rod end for a floating pin or the pressed on kind, any opinions out there either way? thanks

    By the way my name is Joe from Fla, cool site

    If you're a racer who will be disassembling the motor frequently, the floating pins will be easier to disassemble. They may also free up a little horsepower if you are looking for the very last bit of power you can bolt into the motor. I've found them more of a pain in the butt than anything else, winding and unwinding the Spirolocs.

    If this is a street motor, it won't make a tinker's damn. Use the pressed rods and have it over with.

    I agree with techinspector1, if your not tearing the engine down on a regular basis , it really isn't worth the extra cost.
