Kas, that's an interesting approach. I think your 'little black' book
suggested magnafluxing the rods after every 4 races. Since the cranks were
also weak, I thought it was a good idea to pull everything apart after
every 4 races and check the rods and crank. As long as I followed this
routine, I never had a problem. The one time I didn't, sure enough, I
ended up with a gaping hole right above the starter! I raced the car for 8
years before they let us use Carillo rods. During that time, I only had
the one rod failure - so your formula must have been correct. Thanks!

Interesting thing about the oil hole in the rod. In days past when we had
found that the oil hole indeed was the problem and could not use alternate
rods, we would pull down the rod from the crank, spray acetone on the rod
around the oil hole, spray on the crack detect stuff and do the check with
the untra viloet light. It saved pulling the entire engine down all the
time . It saved a lot of engines for us.
