Anyone know what the best rods for 2.3 engines are ? Or if you can get decent aftermarket ones for less than $200 each and what is the difference between
E43E-AA and D42E-AA ..I read somewhere early rods were forged iron or something and later were cast steel and stronger , but this engine causes the most confusing time trying to find certain parts differentiating between different engines with the same bore and stroke. I have a 2.3 turbo engine I want to possibly replace the rods but don't want to spend 800 + for the rods I see thjat look like chevy rods bushed for custom pistons that cost a small fortune : ) any help would be appreciated^^
