Well a fwe months ago I bought some used eagle rods. They were barely used and looked fine when I looked at them, but i took them out of the box again yesterday and noticed discoloration on one. Maybe overheated or spun a bearing? What do you guys think? I'm probably gonna bring it somewhere and have them check it out.

 

of all places to take a pic, you put the rods between your legs. nice.

i wouldnt worry about it. just me.

 

I take it that rod took some spun rod action? i would check all the clearances and dimensions with a set of calipers and see if there is any damage

 

For peace of mind maybe you can contact Eagle for an individual rod, cap, or both. I dont think there is any way of testing its strength, but Im sure inspection will determine its trueness.

 

I wouldn't worrie about them being weak but I would take them and get the bore checked. Just to make sure there still round/ right size.

 

Any pics of the inside? Any notching from the seat on the bearing?


















































Any pics of the other side? Any notching from the seat on the beering

 

 

your fine but do make sure they still accept your bearing size .... i.e. stock .010 over or whatever your running

 

plastiguage in several spots
what are those horizontal scratches

 

sometimes the cap get stuck, maybe the guy heated it up to get it off. i know that waht you have to do to get a stock piston off a stock rod.
