Connecting rods revisited

Greetings Bob, I had to put bronze shells in an aluminum connecting rod a few years ago. I used loctite. I am very familiar with the stuff, having used it with very good results for years. But the bronze/aluminum bond was weak. And like you were told Loctite makes no anerobic adhesive better than 609 for bronze and it doesn't work well. I still ended up using 609 because there was really no good way for bonding the bronze to aluminum. But I did use pins through the bronze into the aluminum for a mechanical lock. It has worked well so far, but I think that if I ever have to split that connecting rod again the bronze shells will fall out. ERS

Thanx for the confirmation, Eric! It's good to hear it from another trusted source!

You will post pictures when it's done? Please?

Well, thanks for calling me "trusted" Eric
