I got my rods in today from crower for b18a/b b20, they are crower billet econo rods as far as I can tell, however I cannot find any information about the rods anywhere, crower lists them on the box as "fast times" acura 1.8 connecting rods. They are H beam billet steel shot peened rods, with crower 3/8th 12pt rod bolts. Part# A93828b-4, got them for 185 shipped from crower brand new in box.



anyone know anything about their "fast times connecting rods" lineup?

this is gona seem like a stupid question but, im comparing these rods against my factory rods, and im noticing here there is no oil hole on the inside of the rod bearing area and no oil hole in the side of the rod that usually faces the intake side of the motor? Is this normal for aftermarket H beam rods? Or do i need to have these machined for proper oiling?

my manley ls rods don't have the hole in the rod. at least the crowers have the notch in them.

no need to machine them, the oil will spray out of the side of the rod (thats why you check side clearance on rods)
