After a week of emailing Eagle I got 4 connecting rods and it looks like ill be using Summit as the shipping is $80 cheaper than Jeggs and the sales rep when he rang ask for 4 but didn't tell eagle that it wasn't to match another 4 that it was for a 4cyl application so tomorrow morning ill be up at 4am to make the order
PROBLEMS pistons the block I have has 30+ pistons and I checked the bore no ridge marks up the top and still had hone marks in it so bye the eye it looked good enough to just hone but I decided to go 40+ as it had the wrong pistons in it 460 smog (I think that's what you call them )
my mate rang me and said theres a problem with the bore at 40 it wont clean up I thought im stuffed now as I only saw 40+ for them .Who ever bored it machined them like funnels omg--He ended up honing the bore while I was there and the bottom of the bore wasn't clean you could still see the light glaze I said it will have to do I have no choice and finding a block here id impossible .Then my mate suggest getting the shirts coated which will give them a little more size $100 to do all 4 so im getting them done and now I need to check the ring gap when its done may even have to buy file backs of those zero rings
With the crankshaft I cant get it machined until I have the connecting rods so that's on hold to now my mate has offered to clean up the ports on my new head im not sure if I want to pull apart a new head he said it will improve the flow rate it will be done for free
