Bill Miller aluminum rods

[RustyRatRod]

You do need to know about building high performance engines before pulling the trigger on aluminum rods, especially a used set and even more so, a cheap used set. For the price, you got what you paid for. Basically rebuildable cores. But saying that, there is a reason why race teams replace rods and throw the old ones out. Just sayin' The seller shouldn't be selling them and the buyer shouldn't have bought them if he was serious about building an aluminum rod motor.

...and they might not be. Like me and Garrett were talkin about. They act like shock absorbers and they get work hardened over time. Who knows how brittle they are? If you read up on fuel rods, they're changed out every 5-10 runs. I'll just stop right there. LOL

Are they even still in business? I couldn't get their web site to come up.

Yes they are and they even answer phone calls. Not sure why so many folks are so reluctant to pick up the phone and talk to people these days.

Lol, not surprised Rob. Ive had him on ignore for a while now due to this. In this case I hit "ignored content" and is well worth the click lol. Notice that ANYTHING he buys is rare/nos/ and usually a good deal. NOW, when he sells its in ambiguous/sketchy/faulty condition AT BEST.
Hoping for some resolution for op.

Yeah. I gotta update. The seller is still postin all kinda stuff for sale. lol

No response from him in my return email to him. Sad he won't man up and do the right thing. I was going by my machine shop later today but gonna have to wait until later this week. Also sent a second email to BME but still no response.

If you make and repeat shady deals you should be booted from the site.

I agree! The problem there is, hardly anyone uses our feedback system so no one knows about deals good or bad until we see threads like this.
