Anyone bought any of the H-beam Cosworth con-rods on e-bay that come from Austrailia??

 

im looking at some from america

 

unless i wanted to change from the standard length, (which i would) i would save some cash, and just use the standard items!

 

Same rods available in the UK.

Are they still on ebay? Must be a long listing if they were on in november 2006

 

i bought a set from ebay "Argopetti" from Australia, thye come fitted with ARP 2000 bolts. The cost of reconning a std set would be approx £50 to resize the big ends + £50 to supply and fit new little ends + £60 for a set of ARP bolts + balancing etc.

The argopetti ones were EN24 (i think this is also known as 4340 and were £300 delivered. The quality of them was absolutely superb and i still sold my old cosworth ones for £60 on ebay.

Total cost then was £300 - £60 = £240. This compared with about £150 to recon the stock ones. Many people would likely say that the stock ones are tried and tested and rarely fail.

 

how would i get round the difference in the length of the rods,im looking at some from america and apparently they are longer than standard

 

Taller block.

 

shorter throw on the crank

 

shorter pistons
