Edit -> Reconditioning my LY rods cost me $195, + $95 for ARP rod bolts = $290 Last edited by metallicareload; 01/26/21 12:11 PM. 440, 4-Speed, 3.54 1968, when Dinosaurs ruled the Earth

It was rebuilt years ago by a friend of mine and he never had the rods done. I was hearing a noise for a split second upon firing it, then a very slight noise after it was running. Most people would probably never have heard it, but I could and I just couldn't drive it like that. Afraid of spinning a bearing, I pulled the engine. Haven't had a chance to tear it down yet. I have a good crank that was checked out by a machine shop and I just want to be sure everything has proper clearances..

People have used them in high horsepower engines for 60 years. I prefer to support my local machines shop.
