Hi Brad,

=20

we are just discussing the shape pattern, not the manufacturer. The =
failed rod came from Scat.

Your link is leading to a Chinese rod.

Cheers

Are these the Ebay rods that have been discussed?

Any thoughts? The price is certainly attractive...

Hi Guys,

=20

After my engine blow at the last race and a rod in two pieces I =
investigated about rod design.

=20

In US forums I found an interesting opinion:

=20

H-beam rods are for low rev high torque engine (turbo, compressor)

I-beam are for medium torque engines with high revs

=20

As engineer I agree with this statement. On high revs the rod shaft gets =
bended back and forth by the inertia caused by the rotation.

I could imagine that the sharp sides of the H-beam rod will create a =
crack after a while because the stiffness for bending along the rotation =
axis smaller than with an I-beam rod.

That means to me that the fatigue resistance is smaller on an H-beam rod =
at high revs.

With high revs on a long stroke engine I mean 6000+.

=20

The manufacturer of the broken H-beam rod was Scat.

=20

I think next time I order an I-beam rod from Scat.

=20

What do you think?

=20

Cheers

Chris
