GtRawrz Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) picked up a set of eagle rods - CRS - 4783 - NI CP - Only markings i see are the cp stamp and the 85.2A how do i tell what pistons they apparently they are 87mm , but dont know the model number as i need new rings , also can pre detonation on the side of a piston be repaired ive seen a few forums repairing them and getting away with it honestly bought the rods alone , and they came with the pistons so if they are fixable id be saving on my rebuild also looking for a site that sells ACL bearings and a full engine gasket kit etc thanks Edited January 22, 2016 by GtRawrz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462429-used-forged-pistonsrods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR_JOEY Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Full gasket kit from kudos, I'm not sure about ACL bearings.. Apparently they were closing down about 12 months ago.. Get some king bearings, next best thing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462429-used-forged-pistonsrods/#findComment-7671382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GtRawrz Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 would pre detonated pistons be repairable ? detonation markings are not as bad as my bmws detonated ones as those ones had worse markings and deformed these have minor pre detonation markings on 5 of them ive seen a method of repairing them and few guy gotten away with it ? ill get some pictures up Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462429-used-forged-pistonsrods/#findComment-7671401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr81 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 How do you tell what size they are - you measure them. Verier callipers aren't that expensive.

GtRawrz Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) last owner thought he was smart and put a manual boost controller without re tuning it ! after it was only tuned to 12 psi at 350 whp , went to 17 LOOL. im fine with buying new ones just wanted others input rods are still in good condition pretty sure this motor didn't make it past 10 000 km thought id ask after looking at this , http://www.miataturbo.net/engine-performance-56/how-fix-mild-pre-detonation-forged-pistons-64990/ Edited January 22, 2016 by GtRawrz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462429-used-forged-pistonsrods/#findComment-7671511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRPSI Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 They were sort of salvageable, if they were damaged a bit less. Top ring land is shot on the upper edge and some skirt tearing puts them into the bin...... I have however saved more damaged pistons in the past but it was a lot of hand work to salvage them, i personally wouldn't recommend it.
