hi dirk,
i supply and use the hadley. and im sure pheonix will be the same.
rods are supplied without the holes for pressure fed engine.
they are not pre drilled, because if you do so. you end up with people wanting undrilled pressure fed rods, and the only thing you have is drilled splash rods.
same reason for valve chest covers, if you drill 50-50 early and late. you end up with more of one type on the shelf, than the other.
same as petrol tank caps, put the breather hole in, and people want to pressurise the tank.
if you are splash feeding, the rods are hard. but can be drilled. make sure you do the shells seperate, so you dont push the steel shell into the white metal.
thanks tony.
