The 24 odd Cast rods i have (8 had original bearings in darn-good shape too) are most likely gonna field the 8 candidates. Geez, the original 8 bearings are tempting me to reuse em.
The rubber rods look like a good set, yet not thrilled with the big-end design. not thrilled with belt-sanding & polishing em. The forged TRW pistons had the rubber rods; i pressed em off.
These TRW pins measure 1mil oversize from stock. That makes a big press-force difference. Likely need to hone the Cast rod holes
My last engine had the SD-455 rods (sold the car with engine), so i can live with factory Cast rods, unless i trip over a nice SD-455 set.
