I'll talk to Giles and see what he says. And I really don't want to spend 570$ on new pistons and another 600 on new 1.9 head. I'm going to upgrade rods so stop telling me not too. I've seen them bend and I don't want to have to deal with it. It cost me less to do it know then when I'm at a track 200 km away and have to drive home. These rods are good for high hp and power. Bad for low end torque. I will have a lot of low end torque.

if your still looking for rods look at Pauter. They got some good stuff. That is what I am running in my Franken Engine. I bent the stock rods. 3 out of 4 were bent. So far with these not a problem.
