Don't think of them as pits, think of them as oil reservoirs.

The pits are between the rod bearings. I don't see how that would hurt anything. If you want to run it I would. If you want a stroker for more power I understand. Make it for pump gas.

The main advantage of using the BB Chevy type forged steel H beam rods is the better 7/16 rod bolts,much stronger rods than stock, new materials, less cost and weight ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) The longer rods help reduce the side loading on the cylinder walls also ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) I have a 464 C.I. 440 block pump gas motor that I had the stock crank offset ground down to BB Chevy rod sizes and increased the stroke to 3.900 or 3.910, CRS disease ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif) I used a 7.100 long BB Chevy type rod in that motor to help reduce the cylinder wall loading and help reduce the weight of the pistons also ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) I'm building another pump gas 440 stroker motor right now that is 4.250 stroke with 6.800 long Eagle BB Chevy type rods, I'm using them because I had them in stock and wanted to use them up. I would have bought 7.100 long rods if I didn't have this set of Eagles on the shelf ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif) IHTHs ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
