do 340 rods wear out?

Reworking old OEM rods is never worth the money. Lets look at some ballpark figures.

Press old pistons off .........$5 each
Glass bead/Cleaning .........$30
Magnuflux ......................$5 each
Resize big end..................$18 each
Convert small end to bushing....$80
ARP bolts.........................$70
Bushings..........................$32
total...........................$440 ballpark depending on shop

New SCAT I beams .......$330

Less money for a lighter, stronger, more accurate piece.
