Re: eagle rods clearance?

here's a pic of the outside of my modded oilpan...took all of 5 minutes....just press the oil pan down and have someone turn the crank....I used half of a 2x4 (a 2x2) and a mini sledge...hmmm...I dont remember my eagle rods being dangerously close to the block....I need to check that now while it's at that stage of assembly again....

I am thinking that tire won't hold much air?

:lol: :lol: the hole on that tire was/is warrantied for it's entire remaining treadlife after it leaves my shop!! that tire was freshly skived...we removed all the injury and damage before refilling with rubber and reinforcing on the inside....we "section repair" high tread, serviceable tires that we pluck out of the junk we collect.....vulcanizing, another one of those forgotten trades..... ;)

(Stock crank not a Stroker)
This was done on each cylinder wherever it could possibly hit.

Hope this helps.

well if it didnt hit when you rotated the motor over, when would it hit? when the motor breaks in and the rods stretch?? for those of you worried, you should only be conserned about the oil pan clearance, as i have never had to clearance a block for the eagle rods w/ a non stroker crank.. never a bad thing to debur all the edges and aid on the side of caution, but it is certainly not needed.
