Just received my rods that I ordered from "Dirt Track Thunder".
I ordered the Eagle 5.7 H-beam ESP rods.

The ones I've seen in pictures look like they have markings on the side that depict an eagle.
The ones I recieved have no markings at all.

The box has no reference to "Eagle" either. Just says
"GEN5700B chevy small block 5.700" H-beam".

Do real Eagle rods come like this?

 

you got ripped. eagle rods aren't stamped persay, it's almost like a permanent ink stamp. my 6" h-beams were marked with the eagle logo and 6.00.

 

Same here. My 5.7's were marked with an Eagle on them to.
I'de do some seriouse *itching if I was you.
Later

 

Every set of Eagles I have ever used have said eagle on the rod and came in an eagle box.

 

My set had an eagle on the side too

 

ditto, eagle laser ethching on rods, eagle box, and eagle instructions in the box

 

Thx for the replies.
I installed one of the rods in my eng to check cam clearance. It cleared the cam fine, but hits the oil pan rail and bottom of the cyls too. I had previously clearanced those areas for the stock type rods.
I was wondering if real Eagle rods are supposed to be ~1/4" larger than stock rods where the bolt head is (on the H-beam type).

Also, does Eagle have a website?
If they do, I can't find it..

 

I had to grind the bottoms of the cylinder bores, and I the rods hit the windage tray and some of the oil pan's scrapper.

i took an air grinder to all the problem spots, and bashed out the windage tray where they hit.

hehe...

 

After a bit more digging in the shipping box, I found the invoice.
Sure enough, they sent me Prowler H-beams rods instead of Eagles. I quoted them the exact part# for the rods and they still screwed it up.
They also overcharged me $15 on the pistons!

Dirt Track Thunder,,
what a bunch of twits.

 

Well I returned the Prowler rods and received my Eagle rods today.
On the side of the rod it says "CRS-5700-BS".
On the box it says "CRS5700B3D"
Are these 2 designations the same, or have the rods been packaged in a different box?

 

That SOUNDS right. The BS rod is the Eagle 3D rod, i think. Mine said the same thing, I think.

hehe, thats alot of thinking. I DO remember thinking to myself, as a joke, "haha i have a BS rod. Great. Now theres goina be BULLSHlT in my engine."

So i DO remember the BS being on the rod. that was the joke...

 

Dirt Track Thunder is bunch of idiots. They sent me the wrong stuff three times when I ordered parts for my 400. Once they sent me 7 pistons (!!), second they sent the wrong size pistons, and the thirdtime then didnt put ARP bolts on the rods like I ordered. Needless to say I will never deal with them again.
