How much can stock hardened rods hold? I spit one out the side of the block, probably due to raising pin to high and ran out of meat. Don't want that again. So the Haisely hardened rods would work fine? This is for an allky engine.

I dont think anyone is hardening a stock 5.9 rod. Most are measuring, polishing, shot peening , and putting good rod bolts in. And this should be about $400 plus or minus what you do for bolts.

Heat treated, stress relieved, micro-polished, with A1 HD rod bolts, From Cummins performance. This should be good right? Anybody use these.Wonder how much these will take?

Did you not understand take the rods put your pistons on them and go pulling send me any money you want to waste over 90 hooks 60 pounds of boost and still running alky don't put near the stress on rods that diesel does heat treat. micro polish and stress relieve your wallet detonate the engine and the best rods money can buy may not hold

Lewis have your wife check her email, I sent a pic of my ventilated block from the rods you sold me. I think the machine shop moved the pin to high and ran out of strength. Or I just made to much HP to keep it all in. $700 for stronger rods is a lot cheaper then a block, crank, cam, rods, pistons, distributor and machine work, and I hope my head is good.

I would put a counter balance crank in first then aluminum rods. We have both in are 5.9 but we also run both one and three charger set-up.
