Hi!

During my late night daily browse trough ebay I found these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/THS-H-Beam-Conrod ... dZViewItem

Does anybody know if they are any good?
Compared to what burton power ask for a set of H-beam conrods for the cvh they are very very cheap...

Regards

TBH almost all rods are made at the one place, then rebranded for each individual company, i heard these make were not the best, but definately worth the money.

I brought some rods a while ago from ebay australia the guy is still selling them.

i have been looking at them as well and from the knowledge i have about metallurgy the 4340 forged steel shot peened and heat treated and should result in a very very strong conrod actually i do not think that a cvh can produce enough power to destroy them. so if they do what it says on the tin they are extreme value for money.

there is a little bit of fibbing on the auction about the steel, aircraft dont use steel
But for that price they are definately worth a go

[fez016]

he he very well said ruishy. didnt take notice of that

[Ruishy1]

people think if you put its used on aircraft everyone goes " oooooooooooo i want that"
half the time they talk crap

its not steel, its alloy IIRC.

[fez016]

have been looking at the 4340 steel datasheet and it says it s a little bit of an alloy its "doped" with chromium and carbon and even molyebdenum in fact i found somewhere but cant remeber well that said it s a type of chromemolly.

[Ruishy1]

but its a steel alloy, on aircraft they try to use more corroision resistant alloys and coatings.
like duraluminum
