used carrello rods
 
Is there anything that I should be aware of before purchasing a set of used carrillo rods?

Thanks

David

used rods
 
Have them x-rayed & check the end to end length.I use to use them for a CP SCCA engine that was 66 x 91mm.2575 cc.They would develop cracks at the bottom of the beam just above the big end.I always thought it was because they were made for a 2.0L Motor and overstressed as I used them.Ciao

Curious, did you blend out the cracks and NDT, or totally scrap them?

Sent them back & over 1 year later they sent me a new set that was reinforced in the affected area.My hat off to them.Also at no charge.Good company & I had bought a number of sets over the years.Fred
