Be mindful that with high-compression Italian motors, you must take your time during the full break-in period of 1-1.5 gallons. Know that running-in these engines is the preliminary period prior to break-in. With an OS engine you can run-in a few tanks, and then race it without much concern. Not with these!
Otherwise you could experience premature connecting rod wear or failure. The most common sign of rod wear is the sudden case of blowing plugs repeatedly.
The TQ rod has an oil hole for the crankpin in the lower bushing, like most others. However, at the exit of the TQ oil hole inside the bushing, it is elongated for maximum oil flow. The drawback to that design is that the bushing is vulerable to over-rev damage when the fit of the engine is still extremely tight. So please be careful not to over-rev your new TQ engine while in it's full break-in period, especially if you flip upside down and try to get the attention of a marshal. We've all done it.
If you take your time and not race your TQ engine prior to full break-in, the engine's P/S/R will last a very long time, perhaps the entire season of weekly racing. However, if you race your TQ engine prior to fully breaking in, you will be advised to change the rod after 1-1.5 gallons, to maximize the life of your P/S.
Also, if you will be running 30% nitro, go ahead and add the extra 0.1 shim. This will help relieve some of the pressure on your new TQ mill, increasing cooling and mileage.
