what is the best rods for my d15b2 block. crower or eagle. i accepted another sugestion too.

 

Go with Eagle. Equal quality and half the price, I don't see any other option.

 

Both the I beam & H beam rods are great.. but if you use the the Eagle/Endyn Rod you will have to notch the block. I am currently using the Crower I-Beam rods..

what do you mean by notch the block...never heard that before...

 

You have ONLY ONE CHOICE!

Crower for $650+.

Eagle doesn't make rods for 1.5L's.

 

Jared, Eagle don't make D15 rods.

Jeff, the newest D16 rods from Eagle no longer require notching of the block.

 

so what is this notching of the block...can someone please tell me...

 

Notching the block. Look at the pic above of the bottom of the block. That is a notched block. Notice there is notches to make room for the rods to do their stroke. Eagle rods may need this modification.

 

Notching the block isnt that big of a deal at all. 15 mins with a die grinder your done..

The new Endyn Rods dont have to be notched? Cool.. good info to know..
But I would spin the motor over a few times by hand and watch that clearance. My crower rods are damn close.

Endyn does NOT make rods.

THEY sell Eagle Rods.

 

Endyn Designed those rods for Eagle...

That's just like saying Endyn doesnt make Pistons, Wiseco Does, Endyn Designs them. Just like JE/SRP pistons are all made by Wiseco.

They need to be bushed first.
