Marty_Cutler Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi guys,Work is progreesing on the engine rebuild on the 25 tourer. I have 3 sets of conrods, 2 steel and 1 alloy.Steel is A-3378, Alloy is Lynite A-15542. With my rough garage scales, the steel ones are 2 lbs, and the alloy is 1 lb. Assuming I can knock out the bearing caps and change them over, which rods are best? CheersMarty in Sydney, Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_Cutler Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi guys,I need to press out the bronze bushes from the little ends of the con rods. Has anybody had experience with the Dodge rods? I was thinking I would machine up a brass drift the right size to slide in and sit snugly over the end of the bush, so that I could drive it out. Any suggestions? Heat first?

nearchoclatetown Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I would not heat them. I'd drill the bushing with a slightly undersized drill and remove all the strength of the bushing. Then they will slide out easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
