	AC 426 May 19, 2019 11:17PM
Burnt orange	I’m working with an AC 426 and I have a few questions. How much hp will stock connecting rods safety handle? Is there any glaring weak points I need to address when you start pushing theses engines? Reply Quote

Kerr	Heat treat the rods to 43 or they will break Reply Quote

Burnt orange	Thanks for the input do you have any suggestions on a company to treat the rods and I assume to resize them from distortion? Reply Quote

Burnt orange	I have heard of that being done but not particularly with the AC 426 and I wouldn’t know where to begin with a project like that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Reply Quote

Burnt orange	I may be interested in those rods what is the best way to contact you. Also can a P pump be mounted without the use of an aftermarket timing cover? Reply Quote
