2.5 rods, prepped and ready to go. Small end re-bushed to .866", drilled for oiling. Big end re-checked, Zyglo inspected, the rod side beams polished and beaded for lightening and durability.
The big end of the rod is the same width as the 2.4 stock rod.
One of my customers was told different/y, by a major Neon parts supplier. He must have been thinking "it was just like a Neon", a common mistake these days. the Neon is 1.031" wide on the bottom, where the 2.4 and 2.5 are 1.013" wide.
The pin end, I have re-bushed with a premium bronze alloy. The bushings have been CNC machined and "jig" reamed, to insure they are straight. Oil holes have been drilled for extar oil to the pin. All excess weight and sharp edges are removed.
