Well they were originally GT rods, but have had the cap machined to lighten them...

Interesting thx dude
Shame really as I need an A+ set to use as exchange so essentially they are useless to me?

I would not be surprised if you exchanged them the machine shop would be quite happy to take them...
Or if you want to do swapsies for a A+ set ( will come with the pistons attached as can't be arsed to remove them )

Guessworks that sounds great although to be honest not sure when were are gonna be able to do the swap as they are not worth the hassle and cost of postage. What shows you going to?
The machine shop would be MED as that is where I am getting the new rods from along with a couple of other bits to complete my short block.
They have obviously had some work done to them as two of the four have had the sides ground and polished as well. I would use them in my build but as its going to be a high BHP turbo build i would rather use the stronger A+ rods.
