    The old ones ar forged rods, the later 205 cast. Straight is approx the same, maybe the forget little lighter. If you do thing they are at the edge, steel H profiles are so cheap today it is not even worth looking at the original ones

    theres so little difference between the two types of rod its not worth worrying about, the 205 rods look stronger but are made with user weaker process, the weakest link are the rod bolts.

    how hard are you going to rev the engine? with better rod bolts they will be fine to about 6500 even 7000 on occasion
