Billet Rod / CC Process

AKRA has been getting several requests for the allowance of the billet rod and to change the cc process by way of pulling the head and doing measurements on piston and head depth.
As for the billet rod AKRA will not be approving that for 2023. Although there are some individuals finding the dipper in the bottom of the block we do recognize that there is an issue with that especially for those who are using the Y-L rod. That particular rod has a very thin dipper on it. It comes in the engines as a complete engine when you purchased them. Harmonics and modifications to that Rod if not done properly will cause the dipper to come off. That particular rod has a very thin dipper attached. The rod that has the thicker dipper is the CL rod. There are no complaints about that rod.
Pertaining to the cc process we need to get more tech involved in doing that process. For us to change the cc process by throwing it out and taking the head off to do measurements that we would come up with is problematic. In evaluating the possibility of doing a numerical system it comes to the point where there would be too many negatives for engines that are currently out there to meet the concept of a numerical system. Using the numerical system would also open the door to a lot of manipulation. Those of you who understand engines in depth can fully understand the word manipulation. Pistons and Heads are not all the same and therefore for us to use a numerical system would only open the door for machine work to those areas that would not be acceptable in regards to proving things were done that should not have been done. So with that being said AKRA will not be changing either of those tech inspections. What we need to do is convince tech inspectors to start doing more of the cc process.
