Lifetime connecting rod? Again, the life at 60.000 rpm is short
To heat treat some means to add carbon to it. Itll absolutely break if he over does it, carbon is very brittle. The heat again will warp it 100%. May not be much...but at 60k rpm lmao itll be significant. Unless he has an OD grinder to polish out the high spots, you're in for a ride when you launch that piston into low earth orbit
