Damn That sucks. Sorry to hear that. What was the root cause, Boost? (not trying to be funny) Any chance the rod manufacturer is gonna hook you up.

I know that but I would hope that hke would warranty somthing like that if they screwed up and used the wrong rods? Its not easy to take a 20k hit on a engine.. That would be the end of my life .. Lol

the supposely bad boy rods, are not actually for the power levels they were telling me they handle..

spoke to kurt urban and proline about it , both told me the same about the rods.....

not bashing on nobody just keeping it real....its been the 3rd time actually...i would assume it be right but ...
