Turbo conrods
Hi all what Conrods are recommended for a high horsepower twin turbo 3.4 930 engine I bought a set of Pauter rods but my engine builder did not install them along with my knife edge crank ... only found this out when I decided to change cams and found standard rods and crank ... NOT HAPPY..... does anyone have a set...

Pissed is putting it mildly. When you took delivery of the engine from the builder he should have given you the stock crank and rods back, right? Or did he offer to "buy" them from you and you accepted? So you never saw them and assumed the knife edge crank and Pauters were in your engine? I'd definitely be paying that guy a visit if that is what happened.

Your engine builder is a thief plain and simple, what he deserves is 2 to the head and 2 to the heart. Maybe karma will pay a visit, if you do, take the police so do you don't end up in jail.

Something sounds funny about this one because while only changing cams there is no way to see the rods or crankshaft.
You have to remove the cam chain boxes, cam towers, and heads before you can slide a cylinder out of the case far enough to see a connecting rod or the crankshaft and there's no reason to do all that if you're only changing cams. After removing the rocker arms and cam chain tensioners the cams slide out of the cam towers while they and the heads are still bolted on to the motor. |

Yeah, I thought about that, maybe he had to remove the pistons to have them fly cut for higher lift cams? |

Agreed decided to remove flat fan, injection to detail and also change cams... noticed chains had a lot of dirt .... that's when we noticed all wasn't right. Could go on and on but still trying to sort this out..
