Just remember that the U.S boys never had the silver top zetec so all parts are for the black top.

Hey Eric interesting you should mention that, when I was looking at the different rods available i was advised by a 'BIG US SUPPLIER' not to consider using eagle rods.

Chineese made substandard steel with a wholesale price of $15 dollars per rod, also something about them not being recognised by the American Automotive Stadards? ( I assume by this he meant US equililant standards of manufacture & quality, similar to that of the German TUV standards)

But then I havent tested them so what would I know

There are many cheap rod manufacturers in USA. Just go for one with a good reputation.

That's it Andy, something like that! Let's just say, I wouldn't put them in my car LOL.

turboboss,
the person this happend to I'm really not in contact with him anymore, I know it was turbo engine though.


If you guys are going to get stuff here, like rods, get something quality like Crower, Pauter, Carillo couple others but can't think of them right now LOL.
