Message: [QUOTE="B585Ford, post: 1004430, member: 5497"] I plan to get my pistons from Morgan and that is one of the reasons I feel I can get away with stock rods. As Drunk said, what was your setup and most importantly, do you know what your EBP was you bent a rod? I am sure the manufacturing could be a factor, but from what I have seen, the bent rods on a relatively stock setup can usually be attributed to a piston failure, an over-rev, or excessive EBP causing a valve to float. IMO a lot of guys running tuner only mods don't realize how high their EBPs are getting. I am already gated to help with that issue. Also, just like with the 7.3 PMRs, you can get them to live at a pretty high HP level if you pull a little fuel down low. Who knows, maybe I will hit the lottery and do everything, but with my budget, I doubt that rods will be changed until I need a complete new engine. I realize I will be taking some risk, but anything over stock is adding risk. Like Morgan said, it just depends on how much risk you are willing to take. Finally my truck will never be a competition truck, just something I tow with and have fun on the street with. [/QUOTE]
