Hi Mitch, yeah, you hear a lot of untruths and misconceptions about what Jim and Cotton did or didn't do. And this is one of them. With the exception of one time, Jim always used Superod brand aluminum rods in Cotton's engines, and the other time that was the exception, was at the Mile High Nats in Denver, where they used Titanium rods in that engine only one time...well two passes to be exact. One came thru the side of the block. Back then,(6) of them still cost over $2000 bucks, and Jim thought that was too rich for his blood to try again....
