wow, thought i would read this thread cuz im gonna be rebuilding my engine soon and wanted to check out some poss. and now im just totalled confused, but i do see what matt is saying that tdc and bdc dwell times should be equivelent, just doesnt make physical sense, but anyway so ur saying if u had a choice between a 420a standard rod or a 420a long rod which would u pick, for the $100 diff. in rebuild kit prices from howell i wouldnt see y not go for the long rod if your increasing engine longevity and some power gains, So here is my question for u, putting the $100 diff. aside would u go long rod or standard on a boosted car, and does the long rod create any valve clearence issues on our car?
