Probe Lightweight I beams and rotating assembly componenets

Does anyone have any experience with the probe lightweight I beams and rotating assemblies. They seem to be fairly priced and look like a good piece. Just wondering if anyone has used them and what the results were.

Yes.......

And..... Ive used some of their small block stuff with good results, just inquiring about the BBF stuff.

not trying to hijack but what about there forged crankshafts?
im consedering one of there complete Prosteet kits for my next build....

I have one of there good cranks in my 427 Windsor. Dominator series rotating assembly. worked great. bought it balanced from them though with Cleveland mains.

They were also trying to push there i-beam rods on me...I chose H-beams

They claim the lightweight I beams are good to 1K HP. At the price that is a terrific deal if they are as advertised.

Hmmmm 1K eh?
from what i have heard Scatt makes all there cranks and rods for them then probe labels them as there products and sells them

I am sure when Mark has a chance he will pop in and clear up any questions.

Im just wondering because i had my short block gone through and my crankshaft isnt looking so good afterall.
same with my freaking pistons
rods are good though.

Whoever told you that....don't listen to them no more.....

We use the RPM as the Probe brand....and Scat is available as a Scat. We do use the Scat 3.400 cranks as Probe brand....because they are better.

As an intellectual exercise I like the Lightweight I-Beam better than the H-Beam. Once the pan is in the motor, no one will ever know the difference.

As I state on every board I participate in.....If your kit costs you less than $3,000.00 it has Chinese rods and a Chinese crank. Most of them are plenty strong for the application.....but fitment can be a .................. challenge.

Thanks for clearing that up for me

What is the deal with the Probe rod that says RPM 5315 in the middle of the rod that Probe sells? On RPM's site it says this rod is a Counterfit rod? I have a set of these. Thanks

they are correct . they are counterfit copy of American company's rods . Crower I beam rod for one

Probe sells them, are they any good? I thought somone said they got there stuff from RPM? I am a little confused?

Since it is currently a challenge to get part from anyone,lately we will sometimes use a Sun rod, which is the factory that made them for RPM from another supplier.

Any Chinese supplier that says a rod is "counterfeit" is just being ridiculous. They're all from the same couple of factories. Some of them are 5140 instead of 4340, but you just ignore those.

Ok, cool.
