Like i keep saying over and over, these look like the same rods i had for the 16vt, they were crap. Couldn't fit the wrist pin through the top bush as it was physically to small, also the rods were too hard / brittle, so more chance of them snapping.

There is a reason why good forged rods are expensive and there is a reason why these are cheap wink No such thing as cheap tuning

If I may add, no cheap tuning options for our engines (more so for you 20VT lot)
Plenty of cheap things for US V8 engines though wink
