I don't agree with you, and here's why.....

If there are no Chinese connecting rods available I won't be building the engine. Because if I have to pay $1400 for a set of rods or $1200 - $2200 for a crank I will find something else to occupy my time.

Then, the American importers, distributors, finish machinists for the rods won't have a job, but also the Americans making pistons for Ross, the Americans making rings and bearings, camshafts and lifters and rocker arms and the list goes on and on.

It isn't so black and white as it seems at first glance.
