Hey there, I’ve been lurking for a bit, and I’m digging the advice given, I’ve got a ‘48 D24 kinda ratty driver, now apart to deal with some engine and rust issues, problem is I had the wrist pin bushings done and I found the #6 rod small end was out of round, made the mistake of not knowing what I was doing and ordered rods claimed to be from a 230 engine on fleabay..... yup they seem to be rods from one of the bigger engines the offset being wrong etc....
local we have a guy selling a 218 for cheap, has anyone used 218 rods in the 230, I am aware the 218 rods are a hair longer, but had anyone ever relieved the head for such a thing, I’ve seen some flat heads using pop up pistons, my Harley K engine is set up like that, but in the end is it really worth it
