@nm9stheham Yep the ic741 pistons aren't exact replacement for stock weight. However I did order the lighter icon wrist pin (saves 18 grams) and that should only put me at 27 grams heavier per cylinder. For the most part the consensus on here is 30 grams is max heavier you can safely go.
I like your idea of rounding out the connecting rods!! Correct me if I am wrong but since this is above the wrist pin that would affect the reciprocating weight. Which is good because that is what i am trying to lighten due to the heavier piston/pin setup.
How much weight do you think can be shaved off by doing the following pictured below? Also even though these are press fit pins maybe drill an oil hole on the top to reduce weight too? Like they do for floating wrist pins. Any thoughts on that. Thanks!!
