Hi GR8NES, as far as I know Oliver sell over the internet, so you should be able to buy them that way. You really need blanks (unmachined), I'm not sure whether you can order them that way on the web site, you may have to talk to their tech support.

Why 6.125 inch rods?

Hi Jordan, a 6 inch rod is 6 inches between the centres (big end and little end), a 6.125 inch rod is 6.125 inches between the centres. You can't have a 6 inch Carillo that is 6.125 inches.

This is an old thread, but if u guys are after a 6" rod, thats chev 350 territory. Its longer than stock, but alot of people make em, and u wouldn't need to pay $2400 for em thats for sure.

6.125 would be a mopar.... 360 from memory rod.

And a smaller rod than stock dosn't give u more displacement, the rod is still moving the same distance. It DOES realllllly kill ur compression. Rod no longer reaches deck height, thus theres a huge gap between the top of the piston and the combustion chamber, thus ur CR is killed.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
