RoostiusMaximus:
Is there a Connecting rod length difference in any years of these engines?
kwakman:
no.same bore stroke and rod length.
RoostiusMaximus:
i'm guessing no one is worrying about changing port timings when using the 1mm shorter CR rod in these engines?

Every time I have seen a cr rod used.. Was to counteract a stroker crank.
