one rod fits into cylinder #4 but catches about 3 inches down. the rest of the rods catch in the first 1/2 inch.

so you fixed it? only for gasket?

this happened with the tunertoys rods too, the first batch they had made wouldnt fit in the cylinder, they had to change the design, return them, and buy a TT set.

Re: Forged rods wont fit!!! help!!

the auction shows 5290 on the side of the rod...is that what yours say? because that would be .104" too short for a 1.6....

If the rod goes down 3 inches and THEN gets stuck you have an egg shaped cylinder. Please try again.

Re: Forged rods wont fit!!! help!!

alot of those rods come from the same chinese manufacturer as the tt rods. my tt rods had to be shaved a cunthair each side to fit down the cylinder wallls.
