Subject: Connecting rods
Just a thought. If aluminum connecting rods work well in Top Fuel and
other Blown applications why would they be any less acceptable in normally
aspirated applications? As Tom Bryant says you can break anything. Of all
the Rod failures that we have collectivly experienced how many were truely
attributable to the actual fatigue of the rod itself? Or was it something
else like oiling, or improper clearence, or poor rod bolts, etc.?
