I bought a set of his $240 replacement rods for a 400 that i'm building up.

My machinist took a look at them and said, "chinese rods, eh?". They had just had a set of chinese rods come thru that had specs that were all over the map.

Anyway, I had him check them over and they were perfect.

So, for a $240 replacement part these are an excellent value, and highly recommended.
