xr6boosted Member 67 Member For: 13y 3m 25d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 13/10/15 09:31 PM Share Posted 13/10/15 09:31 PM My 03 BA motor has let go with rod 6 snapped and half way through the side of the block. I'm in the process of a BF bare long motor swap, just wanting to make sure there is nothing I need in terms of BF accessories to make it all work. Unfortunately I will be keeping the 4 speed for now.Thanks in advance.

Didn't go right through the block but close. The point of the thread was to find out anything else I need to be aware of in terms of issues, any advice will still be useful. Cheers.

Also so how much boost was it pushing when if snapped the rod?
