How long are your rods?

Post by Russ1302 »

I'm trying to figure out a good combo, and need to know some rod specs. Can anyone tell me the length of 1.9 and 2.1 WBX, and stock T1 rods?
Thanks

I think you can calculate the optimal con-rod lenght to your stroke like this:

Basic factor (I don´t know what it is called in english) should be between 1,7 - 1,9..

So if you have 76mm stroke for example, you must do it like this:

76 * 1,8 = 136,8mm (about 5.39")

Hope that helped?
