busa rods

[kgbusa68]

I thought I saw on here at one time that you can run busa rods in an oil cooled motor what is the difference anyone know what im getting at is I have some oil cooled corillo rods laying around and was wondering if they would work in my busa

[lil ninja]

they should work but o/c rods are shorter than busa rods.

[kgbusa68]

how much shorter?????

[lil ninja]

if i remember correctly about 2mm difference between them.

[Bobby Busa]

Yes I believe this is true. I had a set of Crower Oil Cooled Rods that we used in a stroker motor. They worked fine and we didnt have to use a spacer plate.

[knecum]

yes the same bearing though

[Cycle Concepts]

busa rods 4.704"
oilcool/watercool rods 4.606"

difference= .098" or 2.5mm

[kgbusa68]

so it would just lower the compression on a gen 1 stock crank if I were to use them ????

Yeah, lower it ALOT!

So, if you have a 5mm stroker in a w/c gixxer, Busa rods would bolt on in?

[lil ninja]

yea it should work the same as a oilcooled but with the stroker crank your pistons would come out of the cylinders.

NO, you would want to put stock busa rods on a stock w/c 1100 crank...that would make the stroke longer, increasing compress and making more HP.

Stroke stays the same no matter how long the rods are..
