Those are aluminum rods. Are they used? Aluminum rods have a certain life span, and buing unknown, used aluminum rods isn't actually the greatest idea there is. In the minimum you should have a machine shop check them for the low & up end sizes and the lengths. If you have a street car, aluminum rods is not a great idea because they need to be changed occasionally. That's why there are so many "good" rods on the market, someone has removed them out of their engines in time. You also need special or modified bearings with them, and so on. Like I said, I wouldn't get them.

I agree with Dart. Ya gotta watch the alum used rods. If going to be street use car, forget it. Your better off with a set of LY factory rods.
