Hi all,
Firstly, apologies as i already posted it in the crx forum but it was suggested I should post here too. Any help appreciated


I'm looking for a cad file(.dxf, .dwg or even a model) of a standard con-rod and/or piston so I can undertake a stress analysis of the part.
I need to analytically prove (it's my final year uni dissertation) that the amount of boost I plan to run can be withstood by standard internals.

Failing that, I'll have to model it myself, in which case has anyone got a dimensioned drawing so I don't have to measure the thing?!?!?

Thanks.

The dohc zc has the same rod as any d16 honda. So you can use/find/acquire one of them. As for the piston, they are a little different because of the huge head volume of the dohc ZC so they have a huge dome.

I have a box of d16 rods at home, if you want one and are willing to pay shipping id glady ship you one if you want it.

Thanks for the advice Liam,
I've amended the topic title accordingly.

I've got a con-rod but was trying to avoid measuring it if a drawing or model was readily available! If I had one I could just import it directly into the stress analysis software.

I'll give it a few more days then I'll resort to measuring. It'd be nice if I didn't have to because I can see getting some of the radii measurements accurate may be quite difficult and this would affect the results quite heavily.

Cheers.

Ive never seen a cad drawing of the rod/piston - but they might be out there. Good luck.

I've only seen basic flanges available... I highly doubt you'll find what you're looking for... time to start measuring
