Default Alumunum Rods In A Street Engine ?

I came across a side oiler with Michael Giannone aluminum rods.

Cool for a light weight racing engine, but how would they be on the street, any problems and why ?

I guess this is one big reason unless you live in Ca., Fl. etc. Where your car is driven all year.


"Do not leave the fasteners torqued for a period greater than 6 months if the connecting rods will be sitting in a box on a shelf or installed in an engine if the engine is going to sit without use. It is good practice to remove all torque and therefore tension and load from the fasteners to avoid housing bore distortion and to avoid over stretching the fasteners beyond yield strength".
