Ok my pr3 r toast in my ls/vtec…thinking about putting in ITR pistons for the coating and the lower compression…damn cali and their 91 octane.
Here is my question: I know I have to shave the rods to get the pistons to fit. How safe is it to actually shave the RODS? It sounds so unsafe to me.

TIA

PS. I searched and read every single 1 of mang’s post. I feel you brotha.

its fine, connecting rods are very strong and can be modded in various ways for one reason or another. and the 1mm shave on each side that is needed wont render them useless.

ive noticed people like to make a huge deal over the slightest lil thing when it comes to engines. :bored:
