I have accumulated 7 rods and new bearings for my omc 9.9/15 rebuild. Only need two so..how should I choose the two rods for this rebuild?
One new one has a slight preload, one is 3 thou too big, two are kinked, one of the kinked ones I ran all 2015 without issues. So I can run the older large pattern rod, 1992, that is actually good with the new large pattern that is tight. Or I can run one 1976 rod that is real good with the large pattern 1992 rod that is 4 grams heavy. The new rod is 15 grams heavy over the 1976 rod so that might be not good.
How would you pick which rods to use..and is a slight preload not acceptable..
