Google Sydney Speed Supplies, Pro-Comp, AT Racing. They are cheap as an initial purchase, but you may spend enough on Mallory and machine work to negate any saving over going SCAT, Harrop or COME. It is best to google as any overly negative feedback on forums is usually met with legal threats to site owners. Eagle had a few issues with the swing arm for no1&2 with some of their early castings where there was little meat to hold it all together, but have claimed to have remedied. I had no issues with mine but could see it being an easy fail point. Edited by user Saturday, 2 May 2015 4:59:51 AM(UTC)

Ever wondered why they have so many names? A good, reliable business builds a good name, and a repeat customer base. Think about why they might need to keep "evolving" with these new names all the time.
As tufgmh noted - often times you spend more $$ just balancing inferior reciprocating assemblies than it would have cost to buy the reputable parts in the first place.
If you're putting the motor together yourself, and you can afford the time & effort to pull it out and redo it, then take the risk. By the time you have the engine out, and the sump bolts undone, you'll be regretting cutting corners.
If you're paying someone to build your motor, it's an even worse false economy to skimp on the major stressed components in the engine. A failure will cost you thousands in lost labour that you won't be able to claim back from the component supplier. |
