Re: Stock rods width? Someone has to have a stock set of rods that they can measure. I need to know the width of a stock connecting rods on the big end!!!

Re: Stock rods width? I don't think anyone here actually puts their own engines together....
that would mean getting dirty <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Stock rods width? I thought this was LS1tech????? I guess nobody knows cuz they dont take the time to measure anything and just slap a motor together! I'm in the middle of putting a set of Eagle h beams in my new motor and I've come up with .0025 rod clearence. Its cuz SBC rods measure .940 width and LS1 rods are .945 width. So i ended up with .010 too much side rod clearence. Anyone else run into this problem? Or did anyone bother to measure?

Re: Stock rods width? Jason bearings arn't going to fix this problem. I've got the right bearings, its the side clearence between the rods that im talking about.

Re: Stock rods width? I used eagle h beams had .022 side clearance won't be a problem maybe excessive oil in cylinder's due to clearance runs fine good pressure.

Typically on a sb Chevy you look for .010 to .020". The factory tolerence for the LS1 is .00433-.020" So .0025" is cutting it close. You could try mix-matching the rods to try to get it closer.
