STOCK CAST RODS V. AFTERMARKET RODS - PROS AND CONS, PLEASE!
There are conflicting opinions here on the board and from other input I've received on this subject.
I'm planning a stock rebuild on my 400, and need to decide what to do. STOCK CAST RODS resize, check for straightness, harden by shot peening - how much will all of this cost, and is it all necessary? comment - stock rods are the weakest link in a rebuild comment - stock rods are ok if rpms don't get too high comment - polish comment - do not polish AFTERMARKET RODS get forged Eagle was recommended by 3 members are billet rods overkill? many comments - use ARP bolts If new Eagle rods cost about the same as reconditioning the old stock rods, why not get new? Thanks for helping to clear up my confusion . . . . Harry
