Hey Guys, Im helping a mate build a motor (red 202), Just wondering what rods to run? Can I use blue motor rods? Where do I buy new rods and what sort of price are we looking at?
Cheers
Les

Use them, they will be fine unless you want to hit 7000 RPM.

And if you plan on a big rev then there are Argo, BMW or Carrillo rods around for Holden 6's.

Just buy a Blue 202. That way you get the better crank and rods.

well maybe not this motor but the next motor I build I want it to be bullet proof or as close to asit can be. I reckon they would be worth it though if your building a very high compression motor to rev.
Thanks for the help guys, Im just gunna whack some blus motor rods in it as they will be enough for what he wants.
