Default Re: Insert con rod suggestions

I agree with Railcarmover! Until my last Bonneville engine I always used stock B rods, mostly with babbitt. Dipper oiling is good to 4,000 RPM's or so. I've always run C cranks, because I have them. I ran stock replacement pistons on my early Miller, since sold. I've also run '55 Olds pistons in several engines, but think Ross pistons are the best, very light weight, if a bit costly. On one set of B rods I inserted using bearings for a Volvo engine. Dipper oiling has some advantages, oil gets splashed around everywhere as soon as engine is started, no waiting until pressure comes up, less apt to leak, etc. Good luck and have fun!
