id certainly hope that i dnt have any kind of troubles with the money being thrown at it, itll have everything basically and be tuned rather safe...
everything is being taken into account...oiling system, bullshit cooling, lightweight components, billet crank...but yeh, definately a fun process without throwing money at yager to build one of there proven IPRA packages...
pfffttt...engine will be built soonish...unless i decide to go with the billet crank...give me 18months and i rkn we'll be finished...lend me 20g's and we'll be done within 6 months..
for the price of aftermarket rods its definately worth the effort...i paid good money for the lightest reasonably priced rods i could in the belfab ones...spool ones are quite affordable, but ive managed to track down some quite reasonable ones down for less than $400AUD...
the problem with the rod bolts is the fact that generally the stock rod bolts pull out of the rods...a few ppl have machined the rod to accept a 4age style rod bolt but for the hassle prolly alot easier to purchase aftermarket rods and get ARP's or similar...
