Jan 22, 2008 - Yeah, I'll be purchasing a set of used rods and a crank from a fellow on Yotatech. They are stock and in good shape so hopefully that will take some of the sting out of the cost of rebuilding! Does anyone have some experience building up a 3.0? I'm curious about what others have done to improve performance or did they just keep it stock. I know that there are some/alot of folk out there that don't like the 3.0 but I'm going to give it a try.
