I got these from a person that spun a bearing. They still look good enough to use? Or did the heat weaken the metal?

maybe it made it stronger

no one here is going to know the answer.
However, as cheap as eagle rods are, it would only make sense to replace them and not take the chance.

depends what you want to use them for ?

x-mas tree ornament, paper weight, small boat anchor.... it would be perfect for any of these apps.

Wait, aren't those the rods from the guy that had his car stolen and then it broke down? Who knows it it was 4 miles... and how the theifs beat on it.

It's junk though.

Yes, I mean cheap in price. I think the quality is excellent. I used eagles in my own build as well.

eagles are cheap buy new ones dont risk it

shortyz21

93preludes

in looking at that rod its obvious that its not usable but i think you're just looking for someone to say "i'd use it" on honda-tech... so hey i'll throw it in.

i'd use it !

BoostedEG6

^^^ haha

I would use it too....... as a paper weight

thing is trash

SPOOLINmatt

lol, My crank was out of round on my last build i had 2 rods do that on the same journal lol

b18sihatch

why would you even buy a spun rod? makes no sense how you could even feel its useable?

earl

That rod can be re-used if you rebuild it. The discoloration is no big deal. It would need new rod bolts also. For the cost of doing that, I would just buy one new rod directly from Eagle. You will need to know the weight of the rod when ordering it so it can be matched to the weight of your other 3 rods. Cost of a new rod should be around $100 max.

b18sihatch

if im not mistaken these look alot like the other poster said from the guy whos car got stolen and it spun a rod, was it more than 1 or was it just that one?

IMO If you are going to be building a motor why not just do it right the first time so you don't have to go spending extra money because you used someone else parts that are in unknown condition.

i hope you're kidding

I had a friend that took his stock rods to the machine shop for some new pistons. They had that same color discoloration, only at the top. They are still going strong in his car, boosted. But for a 100 bucks, i woulodn't risk it either.
