I am starting to buy bits for new engine. I have had Carrillo rods in gas engines before and had my mind set on using them - Never used Crower but I see a few including Pat using them - any thoughts on Carrillo or Crower?

I just went with Crower--One, because Guy had them ready to go and I needed them sooner than later, Two, last I checked Carrillo's werent ready yet and even if they were I would be leary to be one of the first ones to try them out---even though I'm sure they are just fine.

Yes I saw the thread, It turned into another big ball of diesel place S...
That one, no it all guy has his opinions. Too bad, he's a "so stuck on himself" poster.
No one knows what rods will live at this point. I'm goning with Crower's. If they break or bend, I will let everyone know.

I know it sort of turned into a pissing match, but there was some good info comparing the "H" beam rods and the "I" beam rods. I wish there was more discuession/opinions between the two designs but it got out of hand......
Thanks for the link Max. Still havent heard of anyone using Carillos. Anybody out there using them come in. Maybe i'll be one of the (guineapigs?)
I belief that Carrillo are used in the Bank's truck. I don't know if they available yet or not?? So far choices are crower, carrillo, R&R, and cunningham...
Should be interesting to see if any fail I sure hope not for what they cost..
