Well, not EVERY time, but there's no denying that the v-spec rods were sub-par. The speed rods have always been fine. A lot of the v-spec problems came from the oiling hole system used. Instead of being in the rod like it should be the oiling hole was in the crank pin... BAD idea. Shouldn't be anymore issues.

I change rods in all of my engines no matter what brand after a gallon or so. Novarossi, RB, OS, etc... To me it is a worthwhile practice. One thing that is nice about OS is you don't have to fork out $60 for a rod.
