What did you attribute the rod failure to?


Rod did not fail until the cy-wall crack..I believe it was too thin.. did't get sonic tested .. they all do now !!

And I will add that is that last Engine I ran with motor mounts.. Got a motor plate after that.. [/quote]


what kind of motor mounts ? solids ?
if solids were used, do you think a rubber mount on the passenger side, or both rubber mounts used with a limiter would have prevented the block cracking ?
