Ebay D16 H-beam rods
Ok, I bought a set of "Cat" rods off of ebay for $240 shipped and everything looked good. The big end fits the crank and so does the piston pin end (fitted to Vitara pistons).
I began to install the rods and noticed that the rods were too wide and didnt fit down the bores, so, I filed one and got it to slide down the bore to begin checking the clearance btwn the rod and the block to begin to "notch" it.
Using a carbide cutter I started notching the block and girdle. After repeatedly cutting and checking the clearance I got tired b/c I still have three more cylinders to do.
I was going to order a set of Eagle rods to avoid doing any more labor that I dont have to.
So, if anyone dosent mind spending time fitting these rods for thier Vitara setup LMK what you are willing to pay.
