Like it say's up top.

No one has any rods. I know theres alot of lsj guys who switched to aftermarket.

 

PM RageNRG, pretty sure he's got a set.

 

just curious. but what are you getting these for? you're not using them in you'r lt are you??

 

I have a set PM me for details....

 

yes there going in my lt. the gm build book says they will work with aftermarket pistons are they wrong.

 

They will work just fine...with an LSJ or custom made crank also. Make sure you read that part. And if you do switch cranks you will have to have a CASE relearn done. But you'll have to get the car running first. What do you plan to tune with? LS2 Edit only works on 07+

 

My gm build book say that the lsj rods are a direct replacement for stock with aftermarket pistons im reading and doesnt say anything about crank changes. the lobes on the crank are the same. just the lsj is destroked vs the 2.2. the lsj rods have a bigger piston pin hole. wich is why they only work with aftermarket in a 2.2.

and im going with trifecta tune.

 

why not get an after market set that are more reliable??? and anything over 350hp, roughly, they stop using the lsj rods and go with manley's

 

The stock lsj rod have been able to handle 400+ hp with no problems....There are a few guys on here that are doing fine on them.

 

Because Im not going over 350 hp in my auto.LOL

but am I right about them working in a 2.2 the build book says they will work.

 

yes, we know that. i'm just saying. my personal preference, ESPECIALLY with an engine component such as a set of rods...i would not go used. i would just buy a better after market replacement like manley, pauter, eagle...

 

See I have a magnaflux in my shop. so I can see if there cracked.

 

Ehh, for the money, since he is doing a very mild build, LSJ rods make good sense. Much cheaper than aftermarket, and just as good for what he wants.

 

I know new rods are 325 on ebay but if I can get fordged lsj that will do the job for cheap why not. I have a spare engine and trans.

 

well by all means go for it then. i'm just speaking from what i would do....

 

Thank you. I only wana run 12 pounds turbo safely. with a super safe tune. people are doing 10 pounds on stock rods. I just wana do it with alittle more rod for safety reasons.

 

i have some pm me an offer and ill consider

 

ya i might want some rods as well... if any1 is still wanting to sell theirs

 

Heres the issue......the $100-150 youre gonna save buy goin with used rods is gonna all get spent when you have to get custom pistons. Just buy Eagle rods and off the shelf pistons.
