definatly-
but in a catastrophic way - I mean 4 of the 6 bearings- thats just weak rods- there is no other way to put it- youll notice that everyone that tunes up duratecs ditches the POS powdered rods in favor of steel ones- none of this would happen if it werent for the rods-
the oil starvation is a problem but an even BIGGER problem are the rods- they get out of shape on the bottom end because of their make up and go oval instead of round- this bites the bearings and spins them - oil is a problem - but conrods are THE PROBLEM!
