Thread: rod and crank issues

Tweet

To further my fustration.... Started installing the pistons and rods. Brand new eagle crankshaft and brand new Scat floating pin connecting rods....... The rods will not fit the crank. Has anybody had troubles with this before, or know why?

The crank end of the rod is too wide for both rods to fit on the crank.

yep...they need to be machined to fit the crank....or you could just get the rods matched for that crank

thanks............damn it

does the crank have chamfered fillets and require dedacated bearings ??

OK,tell me about your rods, part no. i have a scat catalog.

scat part no. 2-irc5700 is what you should have ,but if you have2-irc5700-2000 thease atre made for a crank that has a 2.000 rod jornal and will not fet a standard crank??

#3-ICR5700, Bush fit 5.7" rods

The only difference I can see between the 2-ICR and 3-ICR is the size of the bolts 3/8" v. 7/16"

they should fit if you have the rods turned correctly-chamfer side to crank fillit- u-know that thease eagle cranks are made in china, and maybe some little chink screwed up? take a set of calipers and messure rod jornul it should be 2.100" if not i would call the place where you bought crank and tell them?? good luck!!

OK- I'll double check. Thanks for the luck.
