I have run BME's for 600 plus runs for nearly 20 years now. Never a failure. Bill Miller also advises you to never leave the rods torqued for long periods of time during storage. If you plan to store your car for months at a time without running the engine, you should also loosen the rod bolts and re-torque when you are going to be using the car again.
I don't know why this is, so don't ask me. Bill Miller just recommends it "HIGHLY" Seems he doesn't like them torqued for long standing periods.
I have always done this and had great results.
I am currently using GRP 6.535 aluminum rods in my 542" B1.. We will see how these work..



Chris..




We were told on BMs to flood the bolts with 30#oil What's up with that?

When torquing BME rods , he says to one step torque the bolts and use lots of 30w oil for wet torque, also make sure all flat washer surfaces are wet
