On this episode of Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL, the crew sets out to test the effects of running long vs. short rods on otherwise identical engines. They'll figure out if the long rods make more torque, if the shorter rods' faster swipe makes a difference, or if rod length doesn't actually matter.

The guys flip things upside down to find out how much power you might be leaving in your oil pan on this episode of Engine Masters, presented by AMSOIL. Pan shape, windage and oil control features all play a part in minimizing turbulence around the crank, but an $1,100 solution may not be worth the cost.
