Yesterday, I had a look at a set of Scat rods, they look very similar to the CAT rods, it would be interesting to see them side by side.

I sent you the promised info
actually, you weren't one of the people i was thinking of when i wrote that, LOL.
i feel a bit strange calling someone out of the blue that i've never met to ask about some rods that were mismachined.
overall, the appearance of a couple of the rods are close, but the dimensions are not. that tells me there are differences in the forging, as well as the machining.
the scat and the cat rods do look similar, i got another set of scats in today, but there are some differences in the beam dimensions and the bolt holes. this thread has probably run its course. the instigators that prompted this thread are now nowhere to be found, LOL.

Any high dollar rod steel rod is an I beam, their weight to strength ratio is believed to be higher than the H beams. With most of the Nascar teams etc running them, I would be inclined to agree.
Actually Nascar pretty much uses Carrillo H beams exclusively, some teams do use a Lentz or Arrow I beam, but most seem to be Carrillo H's.... 1.888 Honda Journals are the rage, or even the Quad 4 stuff was tried for a while, and I think the quad 4 stuff may be a bit TOO small.
Narrow rods, EDM oiling, small dia/length cassidium coated pins.... all the rage. Head on over to ebay, there are TONS of used Cup and Busch Carrillo's for sale all the time.

what surprises me is that all the guy's that jumped on the bandwagon to say all of these rods are the same have disappeared.
Looks that way. It would be nice to hear them say, "you showed me, now I know they are different".
The picture shows a lot, and the dimensional differences tell more. Again I will say, this is a good, informative topic.
