[Fot] Maxpeedingrods

[Jim Gray]

I’ve used them for 10 years with no problems. That said I run a 6200 rpm motor but have had it to 7K when I forgot to 

set a rev limiter and had a screeching 914/6 right next to me. ( as I was going by )

If your going to use them have the big ends checked for round and the wrist pins sized or at least checked.

I didn’t have any problem but I did hear a report from someone that the big ends on theirs weren’t perfectly round but correctable.

yes, we used quite a few sets in our engine shop for high HP jap engines, never triumph. quality seems reasonable. the only on-going issue we found with cheap chinese rods like this is the big end tunnel is imperfectly honed. it was not uncommon to have to re-size them. in fact we did a few hundred for one importer at one time. we were never able to confirm if the bolts were really ARP, or just copies

 

i know of a factory in Taiwan that lists thousands of different sets , including various TR rods, and will brand them with whatever name/logo you want. their wholesale price is typcially US$45/rod, bought in quantities like 50. They will provide steel specs if asked. They have some real oddities , like 1mm longer or shorter for various applications, so its obvious they make for performance applications, not just replacement for mom and dad shopping carts

Has anyone used these? They look like Carrillo knockoffs. 4340 steel, ARP bolts, shotpeened. Priced right.
