Hi
I am currently running 15psi, with stock 9:1 pistons and rods. I have a good IC, fuel computer and water injection, so am running a fairly cool intake charge.
I understand I am likely living on borrowed time with the rods....but what about the pistons? I have a spare very low mileage motor, and the pistons etc look new, so I am thinking of just doing the rods. If I did that, I would not have to rebore the cylinders (just hone), so I would probably save about $700 total on my build. (money is a bit tight now)
Is this a good idea?... anyone with opinions or hard experience?
thanks
Greg
