How do I know what size connect rod to get?

Measure the length of the metal between the end of the connecting rod and its inner diameter, taking the measurement as close to center of the rod end as possible. Perform this measurement on both ends, then add the numbers together. Add the total to the sum of the halved inner diameters.

Can you run aluminum rods on the street?

Yes you can run them on the street but they will fail. Aluminum rods have a definite metal fatigue life and when that's reached they are going to come apart.

Why I section is used in connecting rod?

Hence,during the working condition while bearing pressure is exerted on the both end of connecting rod is reduced due to less mass. Other advantageous I section has higher moment of inertia. Hence it reduced the vibration of connecting rod and also reduced side thrust acting on the cylinder.

What material are connecting rods made from?

In mass-produced automotive engines, the connecting rods are most usually made of steel. In high performance applications, "billet" connecting rods can be used, which are machined out of a solid billet of metal, rather than being cast or forged.
