Carillo or Crower billet

Bob

I have a clean, 200 runs set of Summit Proline 6.385 steel rods. Replaced with Crower when I thought I needed to spray my 582. These rods are American made and well designed.
They are in the original box’s and weight matched. If you need a solid 1100hp rod, message me. I’ll sell them super cheap

From the description: 4340AQ aircraft quality chromemoly steel alloy
•Fully machined, vacuum degassed, heat treated, and shot peened
•Each length forged from a separate die for strength
-•Large mating cap area, ARP 8740 chromemoly studs
•Weight matched for proper balancing
•Bushed wrist pin ends for full-floating pistons.
*All rods guaranteed for straightness, roundness, and size

Those are the rods I traded you. I’m still running the rods I got from you. Let me think on it. I can’t decide if I should build bigger this next time or stick a blower on the thing.

I had a set of Crower Sportsman rods and a set of Callies Compstar rods that Dave reconditioned but I finally sold both sets.

Message me what you want for those and I’ll see what I can do. And tell your lovely wife we said hello.

They could be. I’ve owned 3-4 sets. How does $400 plus the ride sound? I have 2x sets of new fasteners I’ll throw in and 5 spare rods from another set.

Paulie,

That sounds good, here's the thing. We are having our drip system replaced in the whole yard. Not gonna be cheap.

Plus we found out yesterday that the idiot that installed it originally plumbed part of it in between the city water meter to the house and our shutoff on our side of the meter.

Had to have all that repaired and a new shutoff valve installed. Anyway, let me get this mess over with and if you still have them I'll take them. If you can sell them to someone else, don't wait on me.

AIRC those rods were pretty light for a BBC rod weren't they? You've got two new sets of fasteners?

If the compstars are that much why not Eagles?

How much horsepower are the Eagle rods rated for? Do not think they would be rated for much.

Light? You mean weight? I can look at my log book if it’s of some help.
Yes I have 2 packs of 16 ARP studs.

Let me know when you want me to send them.

The 4340 sbc rods are about $600 and are rated for 1300. I have run them at about that level without issue.

If you guys want good info on rods, talk to Tom Molnar. Even if you don't buy his rods, he'll school you in what's what......guy is smart....very smart.....and has nothing good to say about oliver, even though he's the one that originally designed them....the company has gone to **** basically......

Paul,

You have a PM.

Well I went out in my shop and located the set Vern will get.
I also found 2 more sets of these American blasé rods in boxes. Definitely used, but they look great. Notes on one set they have new correct ARP studs and big end resized.
Anyone looking for a set of these let me know.
These are not for much more than 1000hp but are American quality and an excellent +250 rod.
Take them off my hands. I’ll never need them ever.

Just had an offshore rod break this weekend in one of our engines. I'd imagine it got egg shaped then lost the bearing and broke. Crank is black.

Sucks but no surprise. As I’ve said, NO professional engine builder or racer install any of these rods in a race engine because they are better than a rod made in the USA like Callies Ultra which has become the benchmark rod for most professional sportsman bracket engine builders.

Lol with your two broken rods in three years you are the LAST person that anybody should be taking advice on rods from.

Guess the “professional engine builders” must have installed the professionally pre-cracked in the USA benchmark rods in those engines.

Jerkoff talk about what you know which is nothing, not what you think you know

Reher Morrison has used Compstar crankshafts and Manley H Beam rods with the RM label on them for years in their Super series bracket motors. Both the cranks and rods are forged offshore and finish machined in the states. I also believe they have resently been using the Dart crankshafts which I believe are also forged off shore.
