Re: Long rod motors?

Marco "claims" that in theory, based on the geometry, the rod ratio difference is worth about maybe 200-400 rpm more, but in practice it's worth alot more.

My main reason for going with the long rod version is not because it was the most expensive (althought some might think differently ), but because I wanted the "best of both worlds" so to speak. I wanted the longer stroke of the 2.4L for my heavy car, but I also wanted the ability to turn higher rpms with less chance of scuffing the pistons/cylinder walls that can happen on a high rev'ed 2.4L
