I was wondering if it is ok to be driving around town with aluminum rods?? planning to do do a 700hp car...Its more like a weekend warrior. Found a real real good deal on the aluminum rods that is cheaper than cower billet rods. Need some input....

 

ahh billet aluminum. most aftermarket rods are

 

Will it be aOK to be driving around town with the aluminu rods?? I heard that its not good for daily driving it??

 

Some ppl say that alum. Rods have a heat cycle life that is far shorter that steal rods and u will need to cut a lot of metal out of the block for clearence

 

most aftermarket rods are steel not aluminum. i wouldn't go with aluminum rods in a motor that wasn't getting torn down frequently. getting a good deal on some products doesn't justify using them; you'll just end up paying more in the end.

 

Billet Steel for a car that is not a full blow drag car.
