The bearings on the rods/mains all look just fine,cept for # 8 rod, I just found the bearings and broken rod bolt in the oil pan (8 quart road race pan with flapper doors and windage tray), I'll add those pics later, but the bearings looked like wadded up bubble gum. The broken rod bolt was weird, black in the center of the break and kinda silver around the edges, pictures may not show it, just didn't look right....

are those ARP bolts on the rods --- or pioneer >?
Looks like ARP rod bolts, but I'll check again. The rods are Eagle forged H beam rods with the "big" rod bolts....

Just checked and the rod bolts have stamped on the head, "EAGLE APR 8740".....
The rods are 5.4 inches long and are the chevy rod journal size,I bought the complete stroker kit....comes with the Eagle 4340 forged crankshaft/5.4 forged H-beam rods/bearings, and I upgraded the flat top pistons to Diamond dome pistons when I ordered the rotating assy.....
