Snagged these babies on eBay, if you saw them you may have been confused about it…. I wasn’t they don’t fit 4-6hp engines. It’s a 6 hp rod that fits an HS40 piston, so it’s stretched just a touch to make up the space…..or at least I hoped ….. I was right
NOS H60 shortblock I had on the shelf, I pulled the rod/piston plugged an hs40 piston onto one of the billets and slipped it in. Not sure what the thought there was/is it does raise the rings up slightly and possibly a weight difference. Pulling it back out as the engines needs fully torn down for valve work etc.. but I had to try it to see if I was right or simply bought some paperweights
Note the difference n pin sizes,
Thinner overall fits the standard grind and fillets on the H60 stroke crank.
