Hello!
I'm considering buying cheap H-beam rods directly from China.
But I don't have a micrometer to measure up the correct sizes of bores and widths of the rod at the small and at the big end.
So please let me know if you know the correct measurements.
I've been thinking about buying no name China rods for a while and I think this autumn is the right time.
Minimum order is 20 pieces and I need at least three sets for my own engines.
If you want to give me any thoughts about this, please do let me know!

Re: Con rod spec type 1?
From German: he who buys cheap, buys twice. Are rods REALLY where you want to save by using crappy parts? Have you seen what happens when they let go?
I sorta hope you are trolling.

I'm not afraid of the quality of China parts if it's not dirt cheap. Most H-beam rods are Chinese anyway. It's probably from the same factory as many big brand rods.
And since I'm willing to buy 5 sets it will be a lot cheaper. And freight from China is cheap too.

Same factory, same molds, different material and no quality control... I just wouldn't risk it.
You may be lucky, but you're rolling the dice.
