There was a earlier post about a few days ago about removing the no. 4 rod bolts for rod adjustment and etc in the earlier 3 dip engine pans.
My question is did the earlier rod bolts use larger nuts on them?
Scott C posted a pic showing the offset rod bolt wrench. I have that wrench but I’m thinking it’s a larger size than what I remember the later nuts are.
Thanks for helping me remember! I have gotten rid of all of the older rods I had and don’t have anything to compare to.
