More evidence the newer cracked cap rods, are hating life around the 1000hp and better.....
Fuel only.
(every rod is tweeked to varing degrees, #5 went past the point of return)
This is #3
(Did not stick a piston...bore is in perfect shape, after the rod broke......combustion pressure pushed the piston down the hole as the crank cheese grated it out the left side)
Woodruff's billet rods in transit.......
Experimental Mahle steel monotherm's in transit.......

The Canadian trucks must be getting the Chinese forgings......
Data logging some hard pulls, setting up the gates.
The cylinder is in perfect shape, except the bottom of the bore that the rod
knocked out.
Didn't even loose the coolant.
Was 1/4 mile from the shop and drove back in the open door...LOL

Yup, these rods are a bit on the mushy side.....
I'm a stones throw away from the eskimo's....(NE Saskatchewan)......lets on to how DENSE the air was.....
Yeah the other pistons are perfect, 100% not even the slightest scratch in the skirts running 7.5 thou clearance.
