I have used 2295 a long time ago. THEY ARE VER HEAVY. and the pin is heavy
turning 6500 with those is like turning 7500n with a lighter piston.

eventually .. one of those rods will break.
SO I would recommend an NEW aftermarket rod. they will be brand new , good materials, good bolts and bushed pins and MUCH stronger than stock. For a small expense now, or actually the same once you get done working on the rods you have, you will have something that will last.

agree with this..they was a set of aftermarket rods I had re bushed..long story

Sorry I cant see spending what $600+ for a new set of rods, and then a re-balance of another $200 for what kind of power gains?
Little to no HP gains.. He still has a heavy rotating assembly in the end too.
Id say his future isn't calling for him to spin this engine much over 6K.
My point I'm trying to make is .. "why take a shower and put back on dirty under wear"
Bushing those rods with those heavy pistons is a waste...
Buying new rods, and running those slugs would be a waste..
Spending $700-$800 for new rods and a re-balance with no power gains is a huge waste.
Those pistons were design to be a cheap alternative to Cast pistons... They were made to be run without a re-balance too.
Im not saying that floating rods isnt worth it... With New rods, and a re-balance yea... But not with those boat anchors.
