Tried to buy the Clevite 77 P- series but they are no longer available anywhere in STD sizes for Rods.

They have a steel backing, copper middle and aluminum surface. They are capable of handling a higher RPM than the A-series and are better on performance engines I’ve read. The A series are all aluminum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think top layer in tri metal is lead or a lead alloy, not aluminium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8ferg Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share #29 Posted November 16, 2019 Did you ever get the crankshaft end play worked out?Not yet, but I will before I move forward. I’ve been gone a lot for work lately. Dial Indicator on it way thanks to one of our favorite members CO who offered me one of his extras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Obvious Posted November 16, 2019 Share #31 Posted November 16, 2019 Haha!! Just trying to pay it forward. What's the prospect of all three of us having our new shiny motors powering our cars at ZCON 2020? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
