[Shotimes] LSD Conversion KIT for the SHO? Any comments?

[Paul L Fisher]

OK. I still stand by my statement. I do not believe there have been any rod
bearing failures with motors less than 10,000 miles on them.

Did for me.  By the time I realized what happened it was too late.  You have
to have experience to know what impending rod bearing failure is like and
understand the warning signs.  I know I am in good company.
