Are these 5efhe rods?

[karl.]

Bought a 5efe and tore it apart, are these the thicker 5efhe rods that are meant to withstand a bit of boost?

are the glanza or gt rods?

the gt and 5efhe rods are almost identical bar length.

the glanza and 5efe rods are almost idendical bar length

What pistons you got/planning to run Karl?

They are actually Glanza rods. There's a massive difference in the thickness of the two so I'm assuming they are the better fhe rods then.

Does this mean it will have the better cams as well?

Yip must have been a early paseo.

Do these sell for much second hand?

nooooo way my V rods that i have here are waaaay scinnier then that on the neck carl , the glanza v deffo had an engine swap out of a gt im very sure about that 1 , there 100% gen1 rods wich is goood

Thats just a old rod and piston I have lying about so not out of my Glanza. Probably have the skinny rods on in the glanza.

At least the 5e rods are the good ones, Im building a forged 5e would it be worth changing them once im this far?

wel you wont be able to destroy the rods carl the oem 4efte pistons break before the rod i cracked 3x pistons and never a rod before i forged my 5e few years back now

unless your able to get some forged pistons to work on them you will have to get an engineers to rework the smal end on the rods for forged floating pins to work
