Message The Bearing area can be off axis, out of round, out of tolerance, or misaligned. The alloy used doesn't mean anything if the process that makes them is bad. Have they been forged or cast? Are there uneven residual stresses that can cause distortion after some use? Are there internal defects? Did they actually even use 4340?

Are they perfect? Maybe... but it's hard to make anything well, especially on a budget. So does the extra $450 for a set of Eagle rods sound like good insurance now? It will cost many many times that to rebuild, not to mention your blood, sweat, and time all over again.

Daily driving a TT is like ordering your favorite pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's not healthy and eventually you will lose the magic of the meal. Sometimes you just have to have some meatloaf.

My new meatloaf.... 1994 Black Honda Civic DX :D

what? It looks a little stumpy, but fits great in the hand! (n/m) - ZEngineer 12/12/06
