I bought a ~$36 billet connecting rod for a GX140 I'm playing with again and thought I would share some of my observations. First and foremost, the bolts are trash and should be replaced. Lots of people break them and even RBG did. My hypothesis on why is that the threads were rolled right...

Hellion, have you ever purchased an ARC rod? ( any displacement size ) and held it in your hand? I'm not trying to be korny here, but the darn things are almost like jewelry.
When you take it out of the box, before separating the cap, you can't even tell that it is two pieces. I mean the machine work is so good you can't see the parting line. I've purchased several, and maybe they're not for everybody, but in my book they are worth the price. If we continue to insist on buying the cheap Chinese shyt, what little manufacturing industry we have left will be gone for good. I'll get off my soap box now.
