You could always deburr, balance and shot peen a set of dished 4k or 5k rods.

 

What sort of motor are you building Cam?

Are 5k the stronger of the lot?

 

Disregarding 7K rods as I believe them to be the same as 7AFE Rods.

Correct, they even have the same toyota part #.

SLO-030 5K ones are the strongest usually the thick ones but these are not light items.

 

Yes 7K rods agree are 7afe items wont use..LOL

 

Felix as for motor..don't wanna let too much out but twin sidedrafts upright chrome molly bits titanium bits flashy....

 

I talked to my engine builder I said if I clean deburr rods at work what will it cost for balance polish and shot peen...he made a few sounds and said still a few $100 to get them mirror finish with a really good even weight spread. If Spool rods come in at $500 they will be lighter, stronger balanced better off the shelf so leaning towards them.
