In April I ordered a crank, flywheel and rods from PSD Performance. The ad Clearly stated the rods come with real ARP 2000 bolts.

I talked to Chris when I ordered, he said the crank should ship in two to three weeks. Cool.

It took 2 months to finally get the parts. When I recieved them, the rods were the wrong part. Bob Demello called and apologized. I said fine, no problem, everyone makes mistakes.

Bob Demelo then sent me the correct rods. When I recieved them, they had a no name 8740 rod bolt in them. Again, there ad clearly states that the rods come with ARP-2000 bolts.

I know of three cases were the no name 8740 rod bolts have broken, and I was not willing to risk running them in my motor.

I called and emailed Chris several times. He will not return my calls.

I would not reccomend PSD Performance or the Demello rods.
