Do stronger rods put more stress on the engine or something?You buy parts and get Ratter to take charge of build, 99% sure you are going to use him as your tuner and he can oversee everything. Being a mechanic he knows when engine builders are trying to pull his leg.

It would be more of a smart thing to do why the engines apart yeah?Doesn't matter anyway as the car sold. Don't think I would bother on another BA only reason was this one had a immaculate history and was well looked after.
