was only going to replace the rods in a ba series 1 so i can run about 350- 370 rwk just got turbo rebuild and a performance wheel fitted to it .engine got dyno results of 327 rwk before turbo rebuild . thats about the limit for standard rods .can i just change the rods and fitt new bearings and rings only without having the crank cleaned up ,going to hone the bores but thats all .new gaskets and head bolts as well

If you're going to open the engine up you may as well do it right. Thats my opinion

its not all about the power its making its also the amount of boost its taking and how hard are you going to drive it?

its just a toy so it will go to the drags and powercruise and stuff like that .if the engine fails i will build another one but for now i just would like to replace the rods only

might as well do a full rebuild, to change conrods head has to come off, sump off, pistons have to come out, piston pin needs to be pressed out so rings will need changing meaning cyl should be honed and rod bearings replaced as well, so at this point your already 3/4 way through a rebuild...

Fair enough. I have seen a BAI with 1500nm at the rear and a damn sight more than 400RwKw. Mind you I do think it was a bit of a freak engine. If you want to do the rods then do the whole enging. As has been said, to do the rods, you will need to pull the engine down anyway.
