? before I do something stupid
« on: June 10, 2006 - 05:11:42 PM »
Are used pistons and rods good for anything except taking up space?  I'm stroking my B block and these were the pistons and rods that were in there.  I just want to know if I can toss them know.

I wouldn't toss them.  They can be reused.  They would need to be checked first to see if they are usable parts.  Someone will use them.

Try putting them on eBay for a $1.00. See what happens. Somebody may need the rods. I don't like used pistons but you never know who might need them.

Don't throw them out, if you put the word out they are cheap and probably good shape, that could make someone's life better and get their car on the road.  A lot of people use used rods.  Someone will give you a little cash. Are they they wide sixpack/truck type rod, if so I would be interested.

Thanks bigblock4speedman
