Rebuild follow-up, rods and pistons
By richard - 07/16/2004 5:57:03 AM; IP 203.12.164.23
Seen mention of shot peening rods after balancing/machining and before installing. What is the purpose - to reduce any possible stress risers in the surface?

And cast vs. foged pistons. Consensus seems to be forged are better. Is this just due to possible flaws in a casting (inclusions, porosity, etc) that are less likely in forged, thus forged are "stronger"?
This thread, so far...
