But I was a little surprised the other day when talking to a serious engine builder who was using Eagle cranks and rods in lots of builds.




i was thinking from what i've heard they're (eagle) probably being used in a lot more engines than people realize and as you mentioned we're not talking the "run of the mill" lower HP applications. i wonder how you could ever identify and/or find out exactly what forgings are coming from where as far as the imports and who's using them for cores. it might also be worth noting that as things develop overseas there is the potential that the quality of these pieces will improve. it seems like any other situation they have their differences in quality, ranging from "you really don't want this one" to "this will survive some noteworthy HP"
