Don't use 2024. Pretty good link Greg. 7075 for the rod would be better.
I have to assume you've looked up the strengths of both 2024 and 7075 at say 100°C and saw that 2024 is stronger

I can't find my source on that but did see that 7075 has a better fatigue strength at elevated temperatures. That would be good in a four stroke.
