Good evening honda-tech. I am having a small dilema here. I purchased used Eagle rods from a member here last March. I immediately noticed that the part numbers were different but thought nothing of it because the member advised me that his friend had run them. Three of the rods have 5394-BH0 and one has CRS 5394-B. In July when I went to put the engine together, I ran into an issue with the one rod that had a different part number. The crank would not spin with that rod installed. It turned over just fine with it out. I couldn't find the seller's info so I considered it a loss. I ordered some new rods and had no problem.

About a month ago, I noticed the member that I purchased the rods from in the classified section so I dropped him a PM informing him of my problem. I assumed that he mistakenly put the other rod in another box. He said he would double-check but later returned saying he got them secondhand from another user. He said he would try and find a rod that matched the part numbers of the three that I have. He was unable to do that, so he asked what I wanted to do. I asked if we could make a trade where I return the rods and he give me something of equal value. He replied that he didn't have many honda parts left over. After another few days I asked that he refund me since we could not come to any other solution. I gave him the date and payment method that was made. His response was


"Dude I can't give you anything cause it's been almost a year.. I've looked the rod numbers up you give me many times and it comes back as ls rods so don't know what to tell you...


I am a reasonable person, so I am asking that anyone with experience with Eagle Rods please assist me in verifying what these rods go to. I am not assuming that I am correct and that he is wrong, but I do not want to put these up for sale if someone else is going to have the same problem that I did. Thanks for reading. Give me your thoughts!

is that the seller?


If you have time during the day and you dont get any answers right off here... call EAGLE. someone correct me if I am wrong but I think their number is 662-796-7373.

 

^^^^that's what I did when I had a ?^^^^
Got an answer in less than a minute.

 

I'm honestly not sure. The screen name is different but it seems too close to my situation to be merely a coincidence. If you notice the timeline, right around the time when the questions and bumps stopped, I purchased them.

I will try and call Eagle today on my lunch break and see what they have to say on the matter. Thanks for your input!

 

have you them yet... and the different one?

 

He is still waiting for that lunch break 3 years later...

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. Stupid noobs
