Frenchi934 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Id love to see someone actually break a crankshaft on these cars... has anyone ever even broken a stock rod on a normally running car? (by normally running i mean one with oil pressure that isnt detonating) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TainterRacing Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I have know of at lest one guy breaking a rod. Was at about 8500rpms I don't think it was realy the power that broke it just way to much revs. Put AL rods in after that.

Tim_C. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I remember the FIP guys saying they broke a rod on a 650+ build. So they went to another rod for their next one which was 700+ if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim_C. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 LoL! Yeah, I can understand that! Minus 40 degrees F isn't much fun either.I'm scheduled to be in Prudhoe Bay AK in a few weeks on a machine repair. Deadhorse is a town with a population of zero since no one claims it as their home. I'm sure I'll find out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
