ive never heard anything negative on eagle rods either. and as for megasuqirt, nothing wrong with it. quite a few people with 7mgte's on stock internals over 500rwhp using it. and soo ill be one of them once the car is together wit hthe new engine and trans. and for cometic, i dont like it on the 7m, but only because the bores are 86mm in the gasket instead of 85mm like the hks. i like the extra metal between the cylinders. for other engines idk, prolly be fine i suppose.
