You need to rehone in order to seat new rings. If the bores look mint with good crosshatching, you just need a light glaze break hone.

All in all not as bad as it could be - a few hundred bucks and you're back in the saddle assraping all comers.

---- i bet that will hold the 250 whp i want though. There 600 rated and im getting them line bored so i can order bearings soon.

The pre-ARP 2000 bolt rods are known good to 1200 on a couple of different cars, they only had problems spinning past 9k reliably. Keep in mind 1200whp on an Eagle is like 250whp on a D16 rod... Great budget pieces, they are Carillo clones.

Re: motor finally ---- on me (UPDATE)

I just came from the machine shop, to get the rods checked, they said they are reusable as is. the surfaces are smooth, and diameter even. so I'll be back spanking *** soon. but my next build will come soon.
