iain Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi Pink Bearings are usually clearly marked on the reverse face....+ 010” for ten thou, etc. If the number is just on its own...STD for standard usually appears. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hiya Pinky, hope you and Tors are well. As Ian says the shells are normally marked separately on the rear, the Max Speeding rods are a good buy at present about £175 on e bay, includes ARP quality bolts fitted and there a lot of reports saying their quality is fine for mild tuned engines (the manufacturers say good for 600hp but even if that's highly optimistic we should struggle to challenge it). Of course the standard Triumph rods with some work and balancing etc should be good for quite a few hp more than standard numbers it's just that we don't know what's happened to them over the last 50 years. I've bought a set, couldn't resist it. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
