Michael at the risk of sounding stupid whats the difference in the 5250 and chatfield rods ?

The original 5250 rods were used in 1995 and earlier small top bearing crank shaft engines with the thick wrist pin washers. Chatfield rods were used in later model s-3000 and 300 drag engines.
The Chatfield rods are .100 thinner on the piston end for newer style pistons.

Obviously I'll take the pistons off the rods too. These ARE the later style "Chatfield" rods.

Agree...they're like $435 each from Merc.

Also, everything I've ever bought from Ryan Beckley has been primo stuff.

I hear you James.
I certainly missed out on the smart side for sure.

**dbug10** · 08-27-2014, 08:02 AM

Lee do you have any family in New York?

**props4u2** · 08-27-2014, 11:24 PM

Not that I know of James. Most all of my relatives are from Bedford and Lynchburg, Va.
