Any input OR good/bad stories about either Eagle or SCAT cranks and rods? I know that the baseline stuff isn't true race quality but would like to hear any pro's or con's.
I was taken back the other day when a old friend that has a engine rebuilding shop (here in Missouri) told me that all of the SCAT cranks he works on are junk. I told him that I had been hearing exactly the opposite. Im sure the castings come from the same foundry in China BUT I always liked the look of SCAT's finished product as compared to Eagles stuff.
This engine rebuilder said that the SCAT cranks are harder to balance and are much softer material.
