connecting rods
Hi,
Just doing some preliminary work, while waiting on information from Tim Meyer.
If I wanted to reuse my connecting rods, how would I go about removing the retaining lock?
Would it be better to reuse the original connecting rods or just buy new ones?
Thanks,

personaly i brought them to the machine shop. They have a rod oven to make the small end bigger then they press it. One of my freind install 8 pistons with a small press and install the 8 pins back on new 8 pistons without heat. I know he use wood in an angle to not damage the pistons. the shop down here charge 12.50$ each piston.(100$)
