Eagle SIR6123CB rods Vs stock.

B'lite,
Post 41. Doing 'what' in the first place? Giving good advice & advice that is better/different than yours???? Pay more attention to what? Your vast knowledge on LCA/LSA????
And you must be dumber than I thought. The reason I did not mention wages was that was there was no need to mention wages!! Only what the comparative cost would be for someone in this country to have rods reconditioned v the cost of new ones.
And if the cost is higher for new rods, is the extra cost worth it? Yes, in my opinion, when you weigh up all the factors. Because you get a rod that is stronger [ & lighter in some cases ] because it is computer designed to make it strong & light; it is machined on the most modern equipment. And, I believe not mentioned so far, uses cap screws, not a nut & bolt. Nut & bolt requires notching the rod for the bolt head, which reduces metal thickness in a critical area, & a place where factory rods fail. This is not a 180 hp rebuild, OP is hoping for 400 hp.
