X2 the machine shop that built my motor we figured out the cost of all the machining needed to do recondition the old rods, the new rods were cheaper, that and I bought a complete kit from Indy, that way everything matched up, I have Eagle parts, I guess most guys on here like the Scat stuff better, so far my engine seems to run fine, the machinist that balanced my engine said this was the first time he had to remove weight from the crank that most of the time you have to add weight which costs more as mallory metal is $$$ I would go new JMO.
