[Fot] Connecting rod question

[Joe Boruch]

 I have also been using Pauter rods, rather than Carillos, due to cost.  Pauter web site does not list prices.  JoeB

 Walt,
I went with Pauter rods for the Spitfire due to the use of a larger rod bolt than Carillo.
Marty Sukey posted some very nasty pictures of his Carillos and a rod bolt failure…good enough for me.
Not sure how it will apply to TR6 items but worth a look.

I have built a few full race engines for my TR6 using MaxSpeeding connecting rods with acceptable results. For my next build I am considering Carrillo rods which run about $650 more than the MaxSpeeding rods. 

Do and FOT members feel that the Carrillo rods are worth the extra bucks or should I be happy with the MaxSpeeding considering the affordability?

Thanks,
