eagle rods
 

today i called race engineering to look up on their rod piston packages. i said i wanted srp pistons (low compression) and eagle rods. he said that eagle has stopped making the eagle h beams for d16s motor because they started using the 3/8s arp rod bolts in them and that made the bottom part of the rod too big or something. and so what they did was machine the ends (grind) them down which made the fat end of the rod a little skinner therefor making it my susceptable to breaking. any of you guys hear about this. cause i found a good deal on eagle rods and pitons and now race is offering me this rod called "scat" (if thats how you spell it) which is an h beam rod, and the srp piston. never heard of it. my question is is that scat rod any good if im gonna e nd up buying those and is that true what the guy said about the eagle rods for d16s?]
thanks

I have heard equally good things about the scat rods. Ghetto D will be running them really soon. Maybe he can tell you more about them. My eagles came with arp 2000 bolts, but I don't know what that has to do if anything with what your talking about. I'd get the scat's instead of trying to figure it out. ;)

i dont knoww what this guy was talking about. i mean i know that the guy at the machine shop was gonna be buying me eagle rods for the project. but that was way expensive. well i got to the end of the week to figure out waht i want

when I get me a block and some money I was planning on using the scat rods. They used to be on eBay for pretty cheap, but now I only see them for b series. :-\
