My 1st set of manley rods wont fit due to rod clearences being off, the big hole was to small basically..

i recieved the new set.. they came in, they still will not fit... Do the rods need to be machined to work with a itr crank? or my crank journals to big..

im afraid even if i buy eagle rods they still wont fit.

 

what did loc have to say?

they think its the rods..

im sure its the rods, but i dont undesrtand why the mfg of the rods tells me differently.. im just very clueless on what to do..

should i try a different brand? would eagle rods save the problem?

 

is machining manley rod common?

 

Jordo, Loc knows his stuff when it comes to cars and engine building, i wouldn't doubt anything he says, he built my engine not too long ago, and still running good with no problems

 

most rods don't need to be machined when they come from the mfg

yes i trust him, i do not doubt him.. im looking for an answer to my problem?

are both sets of my manley rods bad? or my crank journals to big?

should i just get eagle rods and call it a day?

 

pm earl and see what he has to say
