Re: New Aftermarket Rods

This was out of Hocrest's engine. Crank is screwed as it spun two rod bearings and is likely bent by this little gem. This was the #2 rod while the spun bearings were on 4&5. The engine rattled the bolts loose on the back of the oil pump and likely bled out the oil pressure and thus... bad things happen.

Re: New Aftermarket Rods

water would make more sense to the rod the bearings were due to the high revs.
