Oh
Then yeah that's typically the only time.
In the FS engines case the stock rod + stroke mean that at 7400 rpm the engine literally starts to spin itself apart. So by using a longer rod we can increase the red line that the engine can safely spin too.
Using a longer rod improves the rod ratio which allows us to push the limits that the engine can spin to. Hence why I increased the length of my rods by 3mm, can now rev the engine to ~7800 rpm if i so choose.
