Well folks, BAD NEWS!!!!! The new 401 rods are being pulled from sale. The small end it too big!. I had done some checking, and had my machine shop fix the big end which was too small. My machinist ask for a pin as he thought there was a problem there. YES there is, its too big. So if any of you have bought these, you will not be able to use them out of the box. Also I still have not been able to post my original post on these rods, sent before Nick posted info on them. There is info about the new ( not Scat) 360 rods in that e-mail too. Andre " A.J."
