Eagle Long Rod / JE Pistons with Rings Package 95-05 Neon 2.0

NOTE: Eagle has discontinued these long rods but we worked with them to place a huge order, and bring these back. We estimate we'll have good inventory of these by April 2025. For now we can make the 10.5:1 compression and in a few months we'll have the higher compression 12.0:1 pistons back in stock. If you need 2.0 rods/pistons sooner, you'll need to look at the regular length Eagle rods and regular JE pistons that we offer.

Modern Performance now offers a long rod with piston package option for the 2.0 Neon/Eclipse engine!

With a longer connecting rod, your engine will rev easier with a better rod ratio, less piston thrust loading reducing friction wear and heat buildup, and lighter weight pistons!

Also a longer rod motor will take high rpm better and will run smoother with less vibration than a similar built standard length rod motor.

We designed a completely new set of JE Pistons to fit the longer 5.608" rod (5.472in Stock) and your choice of compression. These will only come in .030 over (3.474in) bore.

This package is great for those of you wanting to rebuild your motor, but not wanting to purchase an entire engine rebuild kit. This way you can get the forged internals, but build your motor with whatever components you want.

Be sure to select the compression of your choice from the drop down menus.

Piston Specs:

• Dome requires no deburring or preparation
• 2618 T6 high tensile forged aluminum
• JE designs are specifically engineered for extreme applications up to, and including, professional competition. In this environment, the higher compression ratios or heavy nitrous usage necessitate the higher tensile strength 2618 aluminum alloy.
• 25 grams lighter than stock rod length JE Pistons.
• Reduced skirt surface area for less friction.
• Dome features smooth flowing radii for excellent flame travel.
• .827 x 2.250 straight wall carbon steel full floating wrist pin provided.
• Pin fitting and spiro locks included

Eagle Connecting rod specs:

• 5.608in. Rod Length vs. 5.472in. stock
• Made from a TWO-PIECE FORGING
• X-rayed, sonic-tested & magna-fluxed as part of Quality testing.
• The manufacturing process of these forgings is designed in such a way that it ensures a superior fatigue life by forcing the grain into the shape of a Connecting Rod. To strengthen the Connecting Rod, the rod cap is forged separately to enable the grain to run perpendicular to the load forces. Eagle "ESP" Connecting Rods use 4340 steel to allow maximum flexibility in using different materials to achieve optimum results. These Connecting Rods also contain a high content of nickel & chrome to achieve greater strength and fatigue life.
• These rods come with the new ARP 1.5 2000 series bolts which use a hefty 3/8 bolt with a 7/16 head. These are much stronger than previous generations of ARP bolts used with Eagle rods.
