rods exiting the block

Bill, There are about a million reasons for rods exiting the block. Too little oil, too much timing, too old of rods, too lean conditions, loose rods bolts, torque wrenches that are out of calibration, too many runs on them. I am sure the other guys here will have half a jillion reasons for rods breaking. Dave Germain

 

they wanna see day light..just kiddin...dave hit all the cases..dave

 

I would say the most common cause is an over rev and the rod bolts stretch or the rods have to many runs on them. What ever the cause it always sucks to see it happen.

 

been there and done it.....it sucks big time..Dave...(it's not if it's when)
