ja med ettermarkeds ting fjærner man ofte "innebygde" ting som var tenkt på i den original konstruksjonen
ved "extrem" trimming i forhold til hva vw tiltenkte de til , bør jo slike ting også være på plass , for å få best mulig utgangspunkt for delene så jeg prøver å finne litt info (noe fant jeg etter forrige ras

)
fra Gene berg:
"2mm offset the stock VW rods all have that is required to position the rod on the crank so it properly lines up to case and cylinder bore. "O" offset causes unwanted side loading on the rod bearing and piston, which make wrist pin keepers burr up or come out as well as blow-by."
berg cranks:
"Porsche and Capri type Carrillo or Bugpack Porsche size rods do not have an offset. When we make our Berg forged cranks using those types of rods, we move the journal location for proper centering of the rod in the piston. This means that we increase the cheek thickness from journal to journal more than 2mm than that of the stock VW width"
