Like it says, what do some of you who have built engines use for rods that handle revs in excess of 8500 rpms?

probe-
eagle-
jg-
crower-

etc.....

And for that matter, what valvetrain components are you useing?

Especialy those with a built D series if anyone here has one. Not bench racing, actual experience.
just curious.

 

prolly gonna get a mix of ppl saying:

"shot peened factory FTW"

or

"<aftermarket company> FTW"

just guess tho

 

any actual experience here?

 

what about the all motor and FI forums

maybe more rod swapping experience there?

 

i dont think stock rods would stand up to 8500 rpm. especcialy d series. im building an engine that revs to 8k and im using stock rods w arp bolts. for 8500+ i would use aftermarket rods. what kind of d series are u building?

 

I'm running eagle rods. With the exception of having to machine the gurtle to get them to clear, I was impressed.
Revved to 8500 quite a few times. Had to tear down the motor today, rods still look brand new.

 

You got pictures of how much you had to take out for the H-beams to get clearance?

 

eagle rods are pretty good for the money alot of my friends use them no complaints

 

well i've built my dohc zc (for boost) as for my rods im using eagle, valvetrain is from super comp (i think....im tired) i dont drive it every day but i rev up to 11k (again not all the time, but i like knowin that i can if i need to )

 

Yeah stock D rods dont like 8000+ RPM. I had a fresh motor and steched a rod in less than 2000 miles.
