Eagle I Beam and H Beam Connecting Rods

[ewe2oobes]

Is this a billet type rod? i presume thre is a crack where the two halfs come apart, but on all the videos Ive seen with bilets and H rods, the crack line appears almost invisible like it just a single peice. I've wondering how do they go on?? And another question, once these rods are made, how do they cut the two halves/ i havent seen or read anything that shows how the big end is seperated.. Any ideas please? thanks!

@ewe2oobes

There is a parting line, you loosen the rod bolts, and pull off the rod cap. Sometimes you need a rod vise to remove the caps as they are a tight fit.

@cncmotorsports I assume the kerf cut made to create the two halves is smaller than the bearing caps? Is there any video around on this procedure?

There is no hole through the rod. The hole is the provide the gudgeon pin lubrication.

whats the major advantage for H beam conrods over I beam conrods, and if its just due to the fact that theyre stronger, why would you still use I beams?

@k0ent Why use I-beams? Cost. Eagle H-beams cost around $350 - $500 depending on application. Eagle I-beams cost around $250.

I just got a set of the 6 in H-beams with the L19 bolts for a supercharged 383. They're niiiiiice. :)
