These are Molnar rods and even going on the website they advertise 834 grams total for these rods but my scale does not lie. They are 934.2 total weight. We will see what the fixture weight says VS advertised. Thanks again!

How do manufacturers come up with the advertised weight of connecting rods?. I know what common sense tells me how it works. I have a rod fixture for balancing rods and an excellent digital scale. On the manufacturers box it reads recip/small end(273.2 grams), rotating/big end (560. total rod weight 834 grams. Put the rod itself on the scale 934 grams. Where is the additional 100 grams coming from. I'm missing something. Thanks

I have used brake fluid mixed with auto transmission fluid to remove corroded pistons in a rusty block with good success. It might be worth a try!.

Thank you very much. I will check with Dennis and let you know. I appreciate the help!.

Just a quick Big Kudos about Stangman. My experience was as good as you could ask for. I inquired about his ad for parts. Rather than a blind "thank you, send me the cash he made the effort to contact me( by a phone call, who does that anymore?), make sure it was what I needed, informed me of any possible drawbacks, offered me an easy out if it did not work for me. He shipped the parts without even having any proof of payment knowing I had not yet sent payment. It reminds of buying parts 20 years ago when we all still had trust, basically.... before the internet. A huge thanks out to him!!. I would recommend anyone to buy from him!

I don't know the manufacturer of the lifters. You cannot feel anything like an edge, as if a flash playing has let go. The pictures are a little deceiving. This is a spot that had a very small amount of flash rust from sitting on the shelf. When the rust residue was cleaned off the difference in appearance showed up. What's your opinion on using a new set off lifters on a used/broken in camshaft?. I appreciate all opinions. Thank you

Did it sell?. If not, were you able to get a shipping cost?.
