I am wondering - would the combined weight of Jim Schmidt's long rods and light 12:1 comp pistons for an 850 Commando weigh less in total, than the combined weight of standard comp. rods and pistons from an 850 Commando ? In my experience, it has always seemed that achieving higher compression ratios to get more power, has involved using heavier pistons because the crowns are higher and more domed. However fitting lighter pistons to a twin cylinder 360 degree motor allows it to spin up faster. Perhaps Jim Scmidt's rods and pistons are a way of achieving both higher comp and lower reciprocating mass ?
Also I would question about whether anyone on this forum has priced or used Arrow titanium con-rods for their Commando..
