    lewis engines offer reco'd rb26 rods for $250 (i assume a set). spool rods for comparisons sake start at $650
    What do you get in a lewis reco'd rod set? also the spool rods should be stronger being h beam and made of forged 4340 moly.

      H beam isnt a reason for being stronger.

      if i were going cheapy spool rods (which i am considering) id be going their I beams, which are only $50 more.

      or carillo's are on sale at some places atm for >$1000 (h beam)

          Depends, if the factory rods are half decent then it makes sense.
          I got stock 4AGE rods resized with ARP bolts, good set of rods are $500~, these were far less.

                    i also thought split rods were generally cast/scintered. not forged

                        Cracked rods first showed up in the Cadillac Northstar motor didn't they?

                        Nope, turns out I'm wrong.
                        Ford 4.6 was the first automotive use. Was being done in 2 stroke outboards before them - allows the roller bearing to have an unfucked surface at the join.
                        "Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."

                                Wow, 1kg for a rod.

                                Are rods generally that heavy in a GT-R?
