I used both Diamond pistons and Eagle H beams in my build.
A factor not mentioned is the component to component weight factor.The Diamond pistons I used needed zero correction. The weight of each piston was almost duplicate to the next. Same with the eagle rods, almost duplicate weight on each one.
I reallly think a new set of rods wuld be in order. Think about the advances in metal composition and machining these days as opposed to even 10 years ago, plus they are new thus eliminating te fatigue factor.
