Eagle rods, with Zetec 1800
I heard that you can use the US eagle rods for the Focus Zetec if you use the piston from the same engine.
Do you know what CR i would be looking at using eagle rods with standard 1800 pistons on a standard silver top Zetec 1800.
Do you need to make any modifications to the rods, to make em fit?

Well done my son. At the end of the day WE are all ater most BHP 4 Ł that we can Get. The way i look at it, they've got to be better than the standard rods.Standard rods can take 280Bhp, i want around 300 - 330bhp. These will be more than good enough for me!!! Why should people invest so much money in expensive rods over here,when you can get STEEL RODS AND PISTONS which will be more than enough 4 most for less!!!!!!!!! and still have pocket change

Cheers for the info turboboss
