1. Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: "Kai M. Radicke" <kmr@pil.net>; Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2002 10:02:13 -0500; Well I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve! Anyhow, if someone gets a chance today could they please measure the center to center length of an MGB connecting rod? Center to center would be from t; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00000.html (8,277 bytes)
2. Re: Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: "Michael Lupynec" <mlupynec@globalserve.net>; Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2002 10:31:02 -0500; Could it have anything to do with the fact that British engine bore/stroke dimensions were for a long time determined by the taxman? Mike L 60A,67E,59Bug principals, shows that length. Yet the ratios; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00002.html (8,230 bytes)

Actually, they should be the same length, except for the fact that the tgwin cam rods are fully floating and that the "regular" rods use a pinch bolt arrangement on the small end.

RE: Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: "Larry Hoy" <larryhoy@prodigy.net>; Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2002 11:43:41 -0700; Kai, the C to C length of an MGB rod is 6.5", I think the twin cam is the same (no math I looked it up in Haynes), the engine stroke is 3.5"; I think however, your barking up the wrong tree.

5. Re: Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: "Kai M. Radicke" <kmr@pil.net>; Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2002 15:07:53 -0500; You are of course right Larry, I didn't consider the ramifications of bureaucracy on engine design of the period. I didn't even think to check my MGB Haynes, as the TR ones are devoid of C to C leng; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00018.html (11,412 bytes)
6. Re: Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: Paul Root <proot@iaces.com>; Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2002 16:21:11 -0600; I got to disagree here. I'm just reading a book on MGBs and it said for manifacturing reasons, the stroke always stayed the same. They increased the B-series to 1798 by siamesing 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 (r; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00023.html (8,841 bytes)
7. Re: Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@attbi.com>; Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2002 09:10:05 -0800; I believe the "long stroke for tax purposes" story explains the *historical* reasons for British engine design tendencies, but I seem to recall reading once that this formula was abolished sometime i; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00064.html (9,602 bytes)
8. Re: Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: Bullwinkle <yd3@nvc.net>; Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2002 12:06:14 -0600; The twin cam engineering data lists the rod length center to center as 6.498/6.502 inches. I believe twin cam rods were used in the standard push rod engine when using the special full floating raci; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00069.html (8,029 bytes)

Re: Connecting Rod Lengths (score: 1): Author: Bullwinkle <yd3@nvc.net>; Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2002 01:58:30 -0600; I also thought that long stroke engines developed more low end torque for their size.

Or more specifically their torque peak comes earlier in the RPM band. The area under the torque curve (when plotted) is the same for either long stroke/short rod and sho; /html/mgs/2002-01/msg00189.html (9,400 bytes)

Figuring out the optimum intake runner length for your MG is useless since they have siamesed intake ports.
