There’s More Than Meets the Eye to Connecting Rods

Modern Alloys have put more time between catastrophic engine failures. Replaced a set of ARP 2000's five years ago & they were $242.00 from S*mm*t, not cheap but just pulled the BBC down with everything intact. Wish these guys would have gotten into Torque Angle vs. Torque Wrench methods of torquing the bolts for perfect stretch. I suspect manufactures are using torque angle gauges when torquing for final bore sizing. I use a rod stretch gauge when my rods are un-torqued for the first time, stretch is always ultra consistent.

[@VGHCX]

Their answers were as clear as a politicians. They spoke with no clarity. Everything they said was full of vagueness and generalities.

Don't know about Steel rods. My current 572 Hemi and previous 526 Milodon 7liter block. Always run and trust BME forged aluminum rods. They have a nice cushion steel rods can't do materially wise. BME... Best rods you can buy.

[@bigboreracing356]

What did they say that you do not agree with?

[@bowsertownes]

These guys are absolutely correct. I'd buy from guys like this

[@bigboreracing356]

I do not know what hurt the OP's feelings. He obviously never built engines for racing.

[@karlsracing8422]

Must've not listened to their advice and limitations of the their products.

I run Mgp billet aluminum rods but in my more streetable cars I absolutely run Callie’s I just don’t in what I run now what I bought came with a Bryant crank shaft new mgp rods Diamond pistons all solid roller crower lifters And billet Steele Manton rockers I did have too have the block fixed but the guy had all new parts my machine shop killed it on the rebuild.
