DevonSVT,
Apology Accepted!
I didn't realize this was such a energetic Topic!
A couple of questions, are torque to yield main and rod bolts so much cheaper than standard reusable bolts in this area? Also to me when I was examining my rods, it looks like the endcaps were actually "broke" off. Is this supposed to be a superior method of manufacturing rods vs machined endcaps, etc?
It is my understanding the 3.0 engines don't experience this type of rod failure. What could account for this difference?
I have another 2.5L that I'm going to rebuild. I will need to purchase oversized pistons. I am not looking for high performance pistons/rods just something to replace my stock units...who do you all recommend that is reasonable in price?
Regards,
Bob
