My crank seems to be strong enough to handle the duties but after checking a friends engine that was running less power than I run, I thought it would be a good move to upgrade before we experience the same failings as him. These rods have done 5 seasons n the hardware was changed at last rebuild. The hardware was fine but the rod failed badly
Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like it grabbed the bearing first, with the heat discoloration the picture shows. Were you able to find the bearings from that rod?
