I looked it over briefly It really doesn't look that bad I built many many engines using the mahle pistons. They seem to Hold up fine I have broken one stroker crank. But it was never determined why It broke

I did just use one of there kits for a sbc build. A 385 stroker For a customer /friend...
I have zero issues with the machine work and there balance work Also Every thing arrived on time and the build had no hiccups

I would rather spend a few hundred $ more and get a kit that needs a few hundred $ less correcting. I have seen really crappy machine work on all the eagle stuff I ever messed with, maybe they are better now? I won't waste another $ on em till I am convinced they have turned the ship around. SCAT tends to be similar price and much better out of the box machine work (not that you shouldn't check it either but its a lot better than eagle).
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

I have been shopping for a stroker kit and went on Scat's website and found a spreadsheet with their G3 kits. Summit carries their kits and the price isn't too bad. Comes with their I beam rods and Icon pistons. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sca-1-48508
