MONGO510 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hey fella's I'm hoping your varied knowledge will help me out! I have a rotating assembly with one bad rod. The rod is a Chev, 6" H-beam, 2" journal, with Arp 8740 bolts. It weighs 750-760 grams. It has no name on it but has the letters XB and the numbers 2617 on the side of the big end. I have been searching the web for the manufacturer with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas who might make it? If you can give me names of Rod manufacturers I can check them out. I have checked with Eagle, Carrillo, and Scat. Who else makes H-beam rods? Thanks for any help! John D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Childs and Albert make H-Beam rods also. If no luck I have a set for sell, mine are not H-beam, they are Super Sport Rods used, and are full floating 6" inch rod for a Chevy 350.

MONGO510 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have another set I could use(6" I-Beam) but I would like to complete this set as it is a balanced assembly. I checked C&A, no luck. Any other ideas? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Manley and ProTech come to mind; Summit also has a house brand h beam rod. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONGO510 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I tried them and they dont have the one I need. Anymore manufacturers you guys can think of? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Precision racing components, PRC, there are in house sellers, like summit as well as a handfull or two others that are marketing their own h beam rods. Best bet is to sell 'em IMO, you'll probably never find the right rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastzcars Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 You could call all the connecting rod makers back and try to find a H-beam rod that's close to 750-760 grams and balance it to the rest of the 7 rods. All of the manufacturers usually have a weight chart of there rods. As long as it's as close as you can make it, I doubt that the balance will be off that much. I know that SCAT balances their rod sets to +/- 2 grams. And I got my machine shop to balance them to within 1/2 gram. Just my 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
