I checked here, moparchat and big block a bodies but have not seen anybody say they had actually broken one.
Seems like they may have been highly underated.
I know my buddy cracked an eagle crank after about 2,000 runs...lol. It really didnt tear anything up as he caught it during a refresh and just noticed some bearing worse than normal.
Thank for the replies.
It gives me some food for thought during this long winter.
