Connecting Rod info

Post by Dan Hatch » Thu Sep 11, 2025 10:13 am

Looking for the ID of big end of rod BEFORE Babbitt is poured.
Any chance someone has that? What I am measuring is not matching the drawings I got. Thanks Dan

Babbit is typically .040”-.050” radial thickness. So a stock T rod would be about 1.350”
