If your paying $800 to a $1,000 for an engine would you not want to spend an extra $50 to greatly reduce the chances of a broken rod?
....with a little help from their friends, but....they are still 'box-stock'!Those stocker engines must be amazing.....running 8K RPM and above.
Those stock valve springs must really be the best thing ever manufactured in China.
The only one that may OFFER a true forged rod would be Burris racing. The one advertized is NOT a forged rod.
