Default what connecting rod is better?

Manley "H" beam rods or Eagle "H" beam rods?

the reason i ask is there about the same price. i hear that eagle rods need to be rehoned when you get them cause there out of round.

thanx for the info!

I have never had to rehone my eagles. Ive had a few different sets but from what i hear the manleys have a better quailty finish. If I didnt get my eagles so cheap then I would have probally bought manelys

I run eagle rods, Brand spanking new.. no problems.. infact, my motor is still on my stand..
unless your adjusting them for clearences, they should pretty round.. you shouldn't have to rehone anything.. like this..
