Scat H Beam Rods - Anyone Used Them ?

[Guilt-Toy]

I am thinking about getting H Beam Scat rods which my engine builder is quoting me and I was wondering if anyone has every used them before in what application and what sort of power are they good for ?

Anyone know where i can get information on them or have any input ? they are not made in china are they ??? I need to know what they are like before I scap the idea and go for Argo rods...

Also ACL race series bearings are they any good for 500rwhp ???

Any help would be appreciated.

Have used Scat rods in a few V8 nitrous builds with no problems. The ACL bearings are very good.

The argo rods you can actually order with a larger gudgen pin which is a good idea if you are running big boost, nitrous or spinning it too 10000rpm or all of the above. All are very good products but i wasnt aware Scat did a rod too suit RB.

Yes, Argo come in either a 21mm pin or 22mm pin. Just keep in mind that most shelf stocked pistons are 21mm pin dia. so you may, if you cannot find a brand that stocks 22mm pin, have to order a custom set of pistons to suit the rods which are noticeably dearer.

Apparently they do and they are cheaper. So they are good for high HP ? say 500rwhp ? could i spin them to 7500rpm 8000 ?

im using par rods. very nice and quite cheap. i actually watched mine being made lol. i gave them the crank and wrist pins and there all sized perfectly.

[T04GTR]

lol i was refering to the cheap china spool shit lol

[T04GTR]

argos are good, abit heavy up top but good. if they cost less then 1000 a set i wouldnt use them unless your willing to get out the reamer and hone. and a few packets of plasti-guage lol

[Guilt-Toy]

This guy is going to gaurentee his engine... so if the issues are with clearances of the pins and little ends he would have to measure them up before putting the engine together and then fix it accordingly (resize them or whatever needs to be done) and then it will be ok...

right?

[Spoolup]

I have sold 40 plus sets of rods and have never received any negative feedback with regards to clearances. I have though had numerous engine builders who have used them and said they were all within spec and measured up perfectly. I personally have built 3 engines including my own and all con rods were within spec.

There are now also several engines making 700hp plus that I know of.

Scat have been around for a very long time and even make rods for other companys sold under the other companys name.
