Acki , ultrasonic bath , done by a specialist n not myslef .


Acki what is your opinion on the these two rods shape : is the shape difference affecting the resistance ?

 

[Acki]

Depends on the supplier.
You get some H-beam rods which are ligther than I-beam rods, but resitances from the I-beam is better.
But to break a H-beam rod is not easy, only saw it when you had some malfunction of the oil supply system.
For my Fiat Uno I bought X-beam rods (original Pauter) - expensive but years ago.
Nowadays I would buy cheaper rods (not the cheapest, checked rods from some dealers - which I can visit when something is strange )

For me the I-beam, A-beam (is different to I!) or X-beam looking much cooler than H-beam
Price differences depends on the source! At the main stream brands (VAG, Opel etc.) I would buy them in a package together with pistons from some Tuner for a acceptable price, you know?!

Please ask you guy which cleaner he used.
I know cleaner which can clean the pistons easily, but the coating often is also "cleaned" after this.

Acki , i will ask him and let you know about the cleaning process .

the rods i like are the "P..." ones , slightly more expensive , those will be probably my next rods if i change the ones on my car

Like Acki wrote, you will never crack a forged rod if the engine is proper build. I never would spend thousand of euro for a set of rods. Its more important to find one who can make a proper mapping.
