well i biult my motor and its in an running, i was planing on using scat hbeams but in my a6 they hit the cylinder walls which i had expected but also the girdle webbing, the machinist said i should of bought the ones he suggested and then it wouldnt have happened. so he got the eagle rods which where are identical to the scats and they did the same thing. with school starting i told him to just use the stock a6 rods. so now i have a fully built motor with stock rods. so semi built sucks for me i know but time and money were not on my side. well this winter i wanna save some money for some rods. my question to u is what d series rods drop in without
my setup now is d16a6 with, arp head studs, mls head gasket, srp piston, stock rods, jg performance cylinder head, t04e, 450s with turbo edit,

notching it is a piece of cake man..just take a grinder and hit it a little.

My crower I-beams were to close for comfort, I still notched the block.

That's sad. The first thing that will bust in any motor is the rods. Your working backwords with this one. I say keep the scat rods and do the little 10 mins worth of notching. Your gonna laugh one day when you figure out how easy it was.

im not worried about how easy it is. i know i worked backwards too. when you hvae to drive to school everyday an hour there and an hour back its hard to not have a car. since i didnt have any more time to get this thing done, i used the stock rods, they are just a temporary thing, as sson as i get some more cash, i get new rods
