Rebuilding an engine at the mo and going to be putting HDI rods in. I'm at the stage where I have dismantled the engine and am comparing the rods/shells.
I can't find any differences with the small end shells, so I'm guessing I can use whichever shells I like.
Big end I noticed a slight difference with the 'locating' bits, so I'm guessing I need to use HDI big end shells?
Just wanted to check with someone who's done this/knows before I buy them.because they seem expensive!
Also I have only compared size/weight of the rods by eye/weight in hand, but am I right in thinking that the HDI rods are both shorter and lighter?
Thanks for any replies, Ben
