| IMO. I can see the cutting line at crank bearing side even in the picture. My eagle rod was not able to see that line because cutting was so precise that I could think it was never been cut. Since, the product page does not say anything about clearance grade, if you know how to measure and choose right bearing for it, I may think that is no problem. However that is be a bit minus. On the stiffness side, it may be inferior to famous brand, but if you can distinguise what it is made of, I would say just about that material will let it endure for what it can afford in the harshness of engine torque. Perhaps, some manufacturing skill or the environment may affect the quality of it's own material should have. Still I may think that could be stiffer and stronger than stock rods. If I lost my stock rods, I would try that if it is cheaper. It would be also fun, "IF" I broke it and had to bore the cylinder again. Other than, I will save money and got a story to tell about cheap rods that I use all the time with confidence. Oh, breaking it, I got whole different story to type in the internet with anxious and pity. Not breaking it, I may keep that story with my close friends, since who heard that story would not tell to others with confidence. Both ways, I get a "story". :) That's what I think of those.
