..man some of the stuff I read in these forums!

come on guys...
We run production stuff and out of the box engines, and we have NEVER had a rod problem. We are not kind to the engines, you know? Not only that, I haven't even seen one, or even heard of one, in all the engines I have seen and people I have talked to... you really have to work at it to break a rod in one of these engines.. ANY engine..
