ABeam Carrillo's.....not what i thought.......

  The big end parting line sucks.....BIG TIME... Even the Falicons are better (an invisible seam) . Boy that stinks. Just venting.

Are you talking 'cracked rods"

Many are made that way nowadays, and some are made of powder..

No...I'm talking about looking at the big end ID where the cap meets the rod. Usually it is almost impossible to see the parting line after it is honed and torqued down. It looks like someone hit the edges on a belt sander or somthing. I'm sure the integrety is still there....it just looks a bit hack especially at 900.00 a set. Cracked rods have invisible parting lines too. These A beams are machined.
