Why are Oliver rods so expensive?
Oliver is more expensive because it is a better product and costs more to produce. There are always places where you can save a little money in a racing engine, but connecting rods are a very highly stressed item and if you break one, lots of other parts will get damaged. In just about every case, the cost to repair your engine will far exceed the amount of money you save on cheap rods. Remember you can buy cheaper, but you cannot buy better.
