Re: SCAT RODS yes or no?

id buy wiseco all day long if they were the cheapest, at 11k rpms in a 250 2stroke, if it holds up to that on my bike it trust them.

Re: SCAT RODS yes or no?

I'm thinking Wiseco pistons and eagle rods for my buildup

Re: SCAT RODS yes or no?

that's what i'm rocking in my b16, all the clearances were perfect.

Re: SCAT RODS yes or no?

I place my vote on tunertoy's rods . Mine should be on the way. I shopped the hell out of rods and he has the best deal.

IMO, you know nothing about Hondas, have never built one, and should stfu.

SCAT is the exact same Chinese made forging that Eagle uses. Any cosmetic differences are from the in-house finish machining, and the not-so-cosmetic differences are from fastener selection.

Brad Z, engine builder extraordinaire, recommends whichever you can get the cheapest because "they are both the exact same thing, a copy of the Carillo, which is the best rod ever made." Multiple Pro-Stock, NHRA, Winston Cup, NDRA NA Street Class, I have no clue what class the 9 second turbo street Civic is in, records and wins don't lie. *shrug*
