- There is a significant difference in one other area-the connecting rods. The rods in an 18V engine weigh about 8 oz. less than those in in an 18G engine. It is a small thing, but it makes a differenc

- There are two theories on this: 1, Less rotating mass = less wear on crank, wrist pin piston bores and bearings hence longer life; 2. Less weight =less strength hence shorter life. I have never had a
