what rods would be better for my build
It was posted a time or two on another site. With pictures of broken rods..the grain structure is different on a forged rod, but it's still a cast piece. Just cast under pressure. In thesecases, the rods fractured, so the builder had them Xrayed, and could see flaws in the beam, just under the pin bore. That is where the others had broke (different engines). I never really persued it further, I just decided not to trust them...lol. It may just be me...I know there are tons of guys running them, so they cant all be bad. But stories/details like that make me avoid them.
