Called Eagle and asked them if they ever heard of that, they said NO. Called my buddy Sammy at ICH and asked him, he said Oh YES he had and we fix them !! SO...I didn't like getting lied to nor getting my stuff damaged due to their stuff. Like their rods though SCAT works Got a Callies in my Chrysler motored Rambler but it was kinda salty

Wound up using a key outa something else, don't remember what it was I'd run a Callies if I could afford it. Last edited by skrews; 11/23/12 08:38 PM.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Lucky my current Eagle cast 3.58 stroke motor hasn't broke yet, maybe they live better at 587 HP @ 7100 . Must be the sweet spot. Seriously though, I think I'm leaning toward a K-1, found one for $526.

Guess I didn't see the fine print that I was purchasing a usable core. 2nd crank was fine, but I don't know how many boxes were opened to find one in that condition.
