Subject: Re: Duralumin Connecting Rods for 16/80 engines
Hi Colin,
On Lagonda Club advice (Brian Savill) I fitted Phoenix conrods to my 16/80 four years ago because of the Duralumin hazard. A major advantage is the move from white metal to shell big end bearings (mains remain white metal). Attached a set of pistons specially ordered from JE Pistons in the US (again on Brian's advice). Both expensive but exceptional quality and well worth it for performance and peace of mind.
