Where exactly does the block need notched when using Eagle rods? Does the crank girdle also need notched? Are there any aftremarket D rods that dont requite the block to be notched?
guess i got lucky with the scat rods in my a6, it cleared the girdle.if your Eagles have the larger rodbolts, the girdle will need to be nothced as well
Here's how I notched mine. Didn't see any reason to hog out everything in the middle. Figured this way would also help keep the pistons from rocking as much when it is cold.Do you know where i can find any pics of the notching in the sleeves?
