Some folks don’t seem to understand that to be 100% safe even at only 5000 rpm when running stock factory cast iron rods you need to know there history.
Important things like how long they have been run for ( as in cycles) and how high they where ever taken up to rpm wise and even if a motor may have ever seen a overheating condition and if the rods ever had to deal with full throttle fuel knock all make a difference.
These days with the cost of buying and installing new rod bolts and then re-sizing factory rods of unknown history ( like If you have not owned the motor since day one) playing with fire and is also so close to the price of new rods ( under 500 bucks) that making a case for using them is bordering on nonsensically.
