Just wondering how critical the comparitive weight
of connecting rods are?
Weights in gm. are:
No 1- 359
No 2- 355
No 3- 350
No 4- 342
Given the format of the A7 crank
1+ 4 = 701gm
2+ 3 = 705gm
Should I refrain from removing any metal from these rods?
They will be fitted to a new steel crank and still debating about doing some modest
Lightening of the flywheel before getting the whole assembly balanced.
Not planning on doing any racing or serious trialling
Still plugging away on the alloy wings and tailcover so mechanicals are a pleasant relief!
