Ed,
Those rods are recommended for use in engines up to 1500 hp. No
other
bolt is available.

Thanks.

That is some awesome news! When i go through my engine this weekend there rods are definatly in the running!

IBFlubyux...

There was a thread by Chris where he shead concern over the weakness of the bolts on Eagle rods, and the fact that you can get stronger ARP studs... However, I still believe and feel confident that eagle rods are going to be plenty strong enough for any hp/tq application a 7M can throw at it... I have them in my 7M longblock and I feel really confident they'll handle the 800+hp I plan on throwing at them...

are these the 3/8' or 5/16' ?
The smaller rod bolts are more then enuff honestly. the bigger ones will hold even more though.
The break because people dont tq them correctly.
I never had one snap or stretch on me

 

[gixxer750]

there is a lot more load on the power stroke of the engine than anywhere else... during that stroke, the rod is pushing down on the crank, so how much do the rod bolts really have to do with the power?

 

[Jaguar_5]

It has to do with the exhaust stroke when the crank is throwing the piston upwards rediculously fast, and theres no compression pushing back to stop it, just the rod bolts to hold the assembly from destroying your head!

 

[itr206]

rpms have more to do with it. they tend to stretch more at higher RPM's. But a Supra will never see the RPM's they will stretch at.

I have revved my Integra to 9500 rpms and never had a problem on the small bolts on any of my builds

if i had any doubt in my mind that these rods were crap before I bought them I wouldnt have bought them back in the day!
