I ordered & paid for a set of 7.1 rods from MTS (CHP) in Nov. '18. Was told they were out of stock at the time, but would get them in
a couple of weeks. Played the email/phone game for months, (they quit returning emails after about 6 months, & rarely answered the
phone when I called, wouldn't return calls after I left message). Around Sept./Oct. '19 I finally got Paul on the phone & was told they
would not get any more made. I'm still trying to get my money back. Had to file a complaint with the BBB.
I don't see 7.1 rods on Cadco's website, but maybe they have them.
Would be nice to use the new Probe pistons I've got that are for 7.1 rods. I would go with bbc rods, but my machine shop won't offset grind cranks anymore as they say it's really hard on their equipment. (stones)? I know I can find a shop that will, but again, it's more money.
