I’m going to try to convince Chris to use R&R rods with 625 hardware but they’re pricey(~$1850 set). If not I’ll likely use Pauter. It’s entirely up to him and what he wants to spend on it. Piston/sleeve assembly alone will cost ~$1100. I could machine the crank journals and use GT3 spec rods(in either steel or Ti) but I don’t even know if the crank will require anything other than a tape polish at this point. Haven’t split the case yet.
