For the conrod I would guess 7075 probably tempered T5 or something. The piston in all engines are high in silicone.

Thanks for this informaton, I'm going to look up T5 and 7075 in my alloys reference guide and hunt down their moduli of elasticity. If my refernec book doe not show this, then I guess I can try to find the information on-line.

As for the piston, I do not intend to do any modifications at all so knowing what stresses they can take is moot for me at the moment, but thanks anyway for the information.
