Is there any difference between the Full Race/Manley rods and the off the shelf Manley rods you can get anywhere else? Just wondering...

 

I think full-race short peens them, not positive thou.
Ohh yea, they say full-race motorsports on the side!

 

they come with different bolts.

 

I believe they're the exact same rod.

 

Manley shot peens them and uses an ARP2000 bolt. Not sure what Geoff uses.

 

I heard the 'Full-Race' stamp on the side of the rod adds 20whp PER cylinder.

 

thats nothing, my diamond tread floormats added 30, plus 20 for the "full-race"decal

 

Boostfed answered my question.

 

pauters are the best there are out there, just buy them from the get go and you will never look back....Miller

I love my Pauters BUT for the B16A app they are still 5/16" bolts actually. I called Pauter and asked why and they said they based the B16A rods after their D16 rod designs. Weird! The Manley even on B16A are 3/8" rod bolts actually

 

hey i hope nobody took it the wrong way about the manleys , im not bad mouthing them i have used them with success. but from all the years i have been building honda motors i have never i mean never had a problem with a pauter.

its not only the size of the bolt that comes into play the material that the bolt is made out of has alot to do with it.

Well, obviously it doesn't matter, because look at your numbers!

The bottom end of the rod will have more material added around it. If you don't do that, it allows the cap to stretch in the bolt area, which will cause spun bearings.

 

hmm, good info Earl.

 

how much is the full-race manley cost by the way.

 

I don't think I'll break either one any time soon.
