I am aware of the problem of bent rods with these engines but am more interested in piston failures due to hp levels. Any info appreciated,Pm me if you like.Cheers,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in case you haven't heard he ran a 10.3 last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you now if that engine expired from rod or piston failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
