what does your source say is different. I bought an auto engine for its crank figuring it would be nice and unabused, and it was the only part of the engine that was fucked as the oil pump had come loose! nothing specific moly just a general sucking of teeth and frowning, you know ,usual british negativity. lol Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

I heard somthing about the tail being slightly longer (shrugs) tmh I cant see that making a diference just means the clit plate will be in a different position on the primary gear, and the clutch levers at a different geometry. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

i tried the primary gear on it and it was all the same ,the c clip went on and backlash was minimal . Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

there is no such thing as an auto crank, never has been. I've known this for some time, all you needed to do was ask On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

so this looks interesting , my piston versus a turbo piston ,

I weigh a standard A+ rod without bolts in at 615g. Is there really 25g difference in standard factory A+ rods?

The upper one is en16 pre a+. Good rods when lightened down to around 585 grams with bolts. |

I was just making you aware of how far you can go, infact I'm sure you could go further, but at what cost? A man of your tallent with a lathe, can easilly take a chunk of weight of the A+ rods  You do have TBASE?
I have a box of A+ rods. I'll have to weigh them all and see how much of a difference there really is :) I also have a couple of sets of the Pre A+ rods. And although the beam may be narrower, they use a higher grade steel. I think if you could machine enough off the Pre A+ rods and get it to a similar weight as a lightened A+ rod, it would be stronger. Most of the extra weight is in the cap and little end balance pads.

Most of the extra weight is in the cap and little end balance pads. i think its great colin , all info is of use , i wrote about the material diference, and i think your right the en16 could probably end up lighter .but bearing in mind the cross sectional increase in the a plus rod , i think , in the shank ,it would be stronger . i'm going to machine the a plus one ,and see how light it'll go without a lot of metal removal , so retaining maximum strength . i have a program somwhere that will tell me the g forces on the piston ,i'll have to see how much higher it can go with it all being lighter ,before it exceeeds a 7k non light assembly ..
