Yep, you can absolutely mill them narrower. I do not recall about the bearing slots, DadTruck, but those are not hard to cut of course. Best, Lou |

that's why it seems odd that K1 would need a minimum buy quantity, I could see paying for the extra side milling operation, but that should be 'seconds' if included in the CNC program.

I don't even have to mill the rods. I can put them in the lathe by the big end ID with a junk bearing. Cut one side, flip and cut the other. No fixture required. |

I've watched enough of 'Uncle' Tony. I think he leads a lot of people astray. Including himself.Whoever wants to learn just one of the many things missing from Tony's knowledge (i.e., just one of the reasons why the long-rod Slant-6 is a good idea), check out this article that just went live today. Search the page for intake velocity is proportional if you don't want to read the whole thing. There are other sturdy reasons why the long-rod Slant-6 is a good idea. There aren't any valid arguments against them, any more than there's a valid argument against gravity. There are perfectly sound reasons why a long-rod Slant-6 might not be the way to go for a particular application, budget, and set of circumstances, but that's a different question. |
