However, weighing each rod from many sets from many manufacturers will give people a good idea on who is consistent and who is not.

My thoughts on the cooling issue, is either the pump is cavitating at sustained HIGH RPM use. The pump is moving the coolant TOO fast and the radiator isn’t cooling it. The pump is not moving enough volume to pull the heat from the block. It’s something that needs to be figured out the V8 guys have.

ok thanks guys! Dudley and 9vapors ran theirs different so I got scared like mine was wrong, but the way I typed it out in the first way is the way my system was drawn out!

And how do we know it wasn't?

If you have a decent industrial supply/fitting shop nearby, try going there. To make them, my local place slaps a -8 to -6 in a lathe and machines off the angled mating surface and add an o-ring. That is what I'm running on my aeromotive rails. Edit to add:...

If you want I can weigh all three for you on the same scale to give you an idea of the absolute and relative weights. I can also give you the the individual weights for the Eagle rods if you want...

Valve clearance out of spec? Engine probably won't idle, does it? The idle valve is completely different which also has a huge influence on driveability. Better to swap your EJ18 heads over (they flow better any way, the single exhaust port heads are crap) and use original manifold with wiring etc it will run fine (if the 2.2 s/b is OK).

I'm working on getting them sooner. It's not easy this time of year because a lot of suppliers have shut downs for a week or two. I am working on it.
