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?

@ewe2oobes @cncmotorsports i would like to find out too

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

@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. :)

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?
