Message: [QUOTE="golfer, post: 387165, member: 266"] back in '03 when I pitched a forged rod...it let go just tooling home at @ 30mph. That engine had done 680rwhp on polished, peened and weight matched forged rods. what typically happens is that the rod deforms, gets a little shorter...which allows the piston to come down "lower" in the bore than it would otherwise...which knocks off the piston oil cooling jets... and evvvvvery forged rod that I've seen go...is always at the exact same point as those pictured here. we wouldn't [B]build [/B]a 450rwhp engine with forged rods...just too risky...there's a big difference in tossing 10g's worth of hot rod parts at a perfectly good forged rod engine...and going out and making 650+hp...but to spend all the time & money to BUILD an engine for that kind of power...without doing billet rods is reckless.
