Are Eagle rods forged?
Eagle ESP Connecting Rods are manufactured from a TWO-PIECE FORGING. The forging process forces the grain into the shape of a connecting rod, resulting in a superior fatigue life. The rod cap is forged separately so that the grain runs perpendicular to the load forces, which strengthens the connecting rod.
How do I identify an eagle Rod?
Current design Eagle I-beam rods also have the Eagle logo on the beam. It is laser-etched and can be difficult to read, especially on used rods. Older designs did not have this logo. A manufacturing code is also laser etched on the opposite side of the beam.

Thus 750 + 940 = 1,690 grams. If the bob weight figure for your new crankshaft is more than the bob weight of your new rods, pistons, and rings, then weight must be removed from the crankshaft in order to balance the assembly….
| Rotating weight (gm. ) | Reciprocating weight (gm. ) | |
|---|---|---|
| Wristpin | 80 | |
| Rings | 38 | |
| Oil | 2 | |
| Subtotal | 470 | 750 |
