Icon IC 743 piston weight incorrect
@nm9stheham Sorry didn't get back to you sooner been away from computer. I see what you mean now. When you said pad of the rod I thought of the small end since alot of guys grind those when doing a stroker.
Actually you have me thinking that I could possibly make the ic743 dome pistons work. I have them boxed but didn't return yet. I think I would need to grind both the top and bottom end though. I would grind the top as pictured above and might get like 20 grams off of it If I had to guess. Then I will grind the big end of the rod to a round shape like pictured. I bet I can get 10 grams off of it which would be 20 total bobweight. Again these are just numbers I am tossing out but that takes off 40 grams and only puts me 31 grams heavier than stock. So it will be close.
I could also use the 18 grams lighter wrist pin but with high compression sounds like a bad idea to me and not going to consider it.
I will be at the shop tmrow and I have some scrap magnum rods I can use for testing. Will measure cap weight by itself too and see what my final weights turn out to be. Thanks!
