Does anyone know who manufactures these rods? They came in the block I bought a while back. The guy I bought them from told me they were Cunningham Rods. But I sent them down to Cunningham Rods, to get the pin bushings replaced, and they just called me saying they have no idea what brand the rods are.
Since this is my first post I would like to say I have been reading honda-tech for a long time, and have gotten some great information from here.

I would like to know also I have the same exact rods and I thought they were crower so I sent them to crower to be rebushed and was told they are not crower so I'm very curious as well

they look like crower rods to me. Check on the rod bolts, my old crower said "crower" on the bolts.

Looks just like a set I have. I have come to the point that they're the old AEM hyper rods. I believe Saenz may have made them. I would love some info on the rods to.

Do they only make custom rods or do they have pre-made applications?

Those look like AEM Hyper Rods, good lightwheight strong rods for mild builds.

After I read the responses to my post I did some searching and I found this thread about AEM Rods. It sounds like Cunningham Rods use to manufacture AEM's rods for them. But since Cunningham Rods has already looked my rods and were certain they didn’t manufacture them, then they are probably not AEM Rods.
Also in that thread someone post pics of Saenz Rods and they look very similar to the rods I have. I am going to try and contact Saenz to see if there are any markings or characteristics I could identify them by to be 100% certain.

Hopefully I can get the new pin bushings soon, the rods are the last thing holding me up on my build up. I already have GE Sleeved block, JE Pistons and almost everything else I need.

That was me that posted the pics of the rods. I talked to the guy at Saenz a few times trying to get info out of him. He wouldn't tell me anything I wanted to know though. I really wanted an idea of how much power these rods could handle, since I could never get a definite answer I got some Manley's to use in my up coming motor. Still got the other ones though.

I can tell you they arent Manley rods.

Well I emailed Seanz a pic of the rods and they emailed me back saying that they are Seanz Rods. From what I have read about Seanz Rods they are pretty good. So I'm happy, I had almost given up on using these rods. Too bad shipping the bushings from Florida will probably take another week but it saves me $600+ for new rods.
