Default oh yea!!

for those of you who are lucky enough to experience real horsepower, will have also experienced a higher failure rate in rods, say compared to over the counter engines which sounds like most of you got.
I cant post picks but i have several rods in at least 3 pieces,
all giving way in different places.
Infact the last rod broke in 2 places before going through the side of the case, made a nice (POP) right infront of the drivers stand heard by many including the guy who said it would blow.
Now when I pulled this engine apart the i found the bush still intact wraped around the pin.
Now if that is not rod failure then could some rocket scientist please tell me what is.
Getting back to the origin of this thread,
if any one knows of any after market suppliers of rods for
PICCO 12s, regardless wether its t1234567890 alloytittyanusum,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for those of you who have mentioned some manufactures
and for those of you with the theries please keep them coming but try not to aim them beneath the belt, its informative reading so keep it that way.

Cheers
