I think this question came up a few months ago and it was confirmed that it does use stronger engine componets, such as those used by the Phoon's.I think the T engines in the BF's are now like the ZF gear box. . .

From what I understand these conrods are all exactly measured and examined the perfect rods go to the F6's the less than perfect rods go to the others.
