Heard nothing but good, bought his rods (but not run the engine yet). Please: remarks about how pretty (or not) anyone's parts are means nothing. China puts a really bright polish on parts made from melted locomotives.

Tom Molnar's products are very high quality. I have his crank and rods in my Arrow with JE pistons. Tom is a fan of CP which I would have used except for timing on my part. Mike Janis at JanCen built my motor and he said the quality was spot on. That and Tom has a three legged dog and is a dog person as well as his wife Susan......that goes a long way with me personally.

Tom is a great guy and easy to deal with and easy to contact. The ONLY issue we had was a misboxed crank. They sent a BBC crank in a BB Mopar box. He rectified it IMMEDIATELY.

I've had two problems on his custom made to hi specs. ARP rod bolts, not all of them will need the same torque to get the same length the first one was when he was at Oliver, the second one was with his now house brand two years ago. He prefers yo use the torque plus so many degrees method but I prefer to stretch them to the middle of the length specs. IE .0059 to .0064 spec. I shoot for .0061 to .0062. T The last bad bolt I had took less than 55 Ft. Lbs. to stretch it way pass the max length, all the rest needed 70+ Lbs. to get them into the middle of specs I bought a used set of Crower billet rods and they have a custom bolt also, Crower recommended 75 Ft. Lbs. with ARP lube so that is what I used These rods are going into one of my own pump gas street motors to go mess with the local street racers Maybe not being anal has it benefits

Ok, thanks everyone, this just reassured me about his stuff. Has anyone had bad experiences with Diamond pistons? Same thing with Molnar, I've never heard anything bad about them. Take a look at Mahle if you are looking for pistons.
