Looking for a set of forged rods. Stock Pontiac dimensions. RPM, Eagle, Scat,etc. No factory rods. Shoot me a PM if you have something available.

Thanks

For what it's worth. Just want to pass on my experience with new RPM 5140 rods. The ones I had had a small V depression on the vertical mating surface between rod pair 1 & 2. I checked it for metal protruding above the contact surface and it was smooth. Obviously their QC missed this machining defect.

I didn't have any luck getting RPM to respond to this issue. Probably not a big deal but with new rods I expect them to be perfect and I expect RPM to respond to my inquiry. No more RPM products for me. Your experience with them will differ. bt

The RPM H-beams are only $400. They are lighter & stronger than the 5140 rods, and cost only a few bucks more. But, I assume you wanna save a few bucks, buying from a member here.

Don't think the RPM 5140 Pontiac rods are still made.

Eagle 5140 rods -- weight 870 g -- SIR6625PP-8 -- $370 shipped -- Jegs has 'em in stock.
