Message	:They worked just fine with the eagle rods I had @ the time.. :A unknown hole in my passenger side intercooler caused 1 bank to run ultra lean an it grenaded them.. 4 bent valves, 2 nuked JE pistons on cylinders 3 and 6... sounds to me something else caused it to go boom, considering cylinders 3 and 6 are not on the same bank... :The eagle rods were fine, an my bearings looked fine.. I subsequently had a custom set of Ross Racing pistons, rings, and wrist pins made. All I can say is WOW with the quality of the Ross set in comparison to the JE's In what way exactly was the quality of the Ross pistons better than the JE's? :So long story short, if no other issues are present, you will be fine with JE pistons an eagle rods... I believe each eagle rod is rated at 200HP per cylinder, so that's @ least 1200rwhp of insurance from bending under pressure in theory (for the cheap price in comparison to other brands, they do their job just fine). Harry (ztuner) has seen the eagle rods stretch in a 600rwhp Z...*shrug* : :
