It's all part of a system! Longer rod to stroke ratios reduce forces on rods, pistons, bearings, cranks and blocks thereby allowing lighter rods, lighter pistons, smaller bearings, lighter block stru

But John, They used heavier rods (thicker section/longer), standard bearing sizes, same weight block structure. I'll give you lighter pistons, which makes sense about reducing loads and inertia of re

show us the data which support these claims. I agree with alomost everything except the lighter rods. Because they are longer, they have to be stronger with larger cross section and mmoment of inerti

Someone asked why Ford used a higher rod-to-stroke ratio on their new engines such as the 4.6 L. so I was just trying to reply. John Logan

Mayby I'm mistaken but I allways thought the rod length had more to do with RPM range of the engine. The Garlands nfgjr@juno.com or call Juno at (800) 654-JUNO [654-5866]

Actually, longer rods reduce the piston speed, and angular force against the cylinder wall. However, They may weigh more. Shorter rods can increase torque due to the sharper angle the rod will have t

Thanks for the response. Let's see, currently I think we have one vote for more torque with shorter rods and one vote for more torque with longer rods. Any more votes out there? Whichever answer is

Actually it comes down to mechanics. You need to visualise a single cylinder engine in you mind. OK. Now put it at top dead center, and give it a very long rod. Now slowly rotate the crank pulling th
