I'm not saying that all of them are bad. But I have had one that broke and did sum research and found that the casts are made in China then shipped to the U.S. where the companies here heat treat and machine them here. But what really turned me against them is when I twisted my crank between the front main bearing and the timing chain gear at bout 2800 rpm's and 50 mph and wasnt getting on it. this was a forged Eagle rotating assembly so I dont think it should have broke. Where things went real far south is when I called them to discuss what happened and they said "Well we have plenty of satified customers" which tells me they dont need me as a customer.
