RPM rod?

Not sure I thought it was just a stock rod

Here is the stock rod on ebay you can look to see if its a stock one or not.It might be a rpm rod I think yours looks beefier than this stock one.

I’m pretty sure this is a stock OPS rod. Most likely more recent manufactured stock (ie. early/mid 2000’s ?). It is machined billet, and bushed at both ends (looks very much like RPM product, but probably produced at OPS plant).

The rod for sale, at the top, is probably older/original stock? Not RPM product. Looks like possibly forged aluminum? At least it’s bushed on both ends.

The original, earlier (1980’s), OPS rods were bushed only on lower end (if I remember correctly). I ran a few OPS .45’s back then (but swapped-out stock rod for RPM product).

This one looks like an early RPM rod, the early ones had a straight cut at the wrist pin end and parallel side cuts on the shank, later rods used more complicated CNC programming and had tapered shank and orbiting cuts around the wristpin and crank pin. So my vote is it is an early RPM rod.

The wrist pin bushing is what tipped me off that it may be a RPM.
OPS rods typically were not bushed.
Either way this looks like a good rod!
