Good afternoon, where can you buy a set of pistons with connecting rods?

[@PhilFryOutdoors]

My machine shop acquired them for me but I think you can get a kit through Michigan Motorz.. One thing to keep in mind is the clearance on the crank journal for the connecting rods. It seems that some rods are a fraction wider at the crank and can cause wear and friction on the edges of the journal which can cause a failure like a spun bearing for example. My machine shop had to modify my journal width ever so slightly to prevent that.

Hello,
On youre torque wrench, is it inch or foot?
Thank you

[@PhilFryOutdoors]

That would be foot pounds.
