Re: blue Rs
going a bit old school with this engine, the rods are yb cosworth, they have been checked for alignment and resized,
its been a while since i had the scales out, all the recent engines i have done either used totally standard rods or steel rods no balancing required in either case, these i balanced, they werent bad, but werent the best either i have had sets of yb rods so close weight wise i didnt have t touch them
no surprise but when i did a dummy piston fit the pistons stuck out the bore just over 0.050" which is about what you would expect as yb rods are round 0.060" longer than pinto, and i had refaced the block, what i was pleased about is the protrusion on all the pistons was very similar. i dont usually skim blocks or even heads for that matter as although you can on my milling machine its a bit of a pain to do and easy end up with it pissed and one end of the block taller/thicker than the other.
i normally machine pistons in the lathe, but today i did it in the Bridgeport on a jig i made for holding pistons to do valve cutouts, its a bit of a faff to get it set up to do the first piston, but once set up the other 3 are nice and quick
