Well.... I was bored of my setup!!!!

[Swsignal5]

I'm running R&R connecting rods in mine

I had planned on r&r but then I heard a few negative things about them. But of course there's always something bad to hear about every product.

Yeah never know. Only negative I heard was a bent rod on a 1400hp truck that only bent a couple mm. Anything is better than stock. The major factor on bent rods is tuning. The right tuning and nothing to worry about.

Yeah I heard of a couple locking up on the crank from them being so big. But it could be just talk.

I've heard of that on 6.4s where they have to machine a little bit of the block for them to fit but not on the 6.7s haha guess I'll find out!

MPD used R&R rods in my build and it locked up when they starting to bring up the RPM. Engine had to be pulled and replace 2 rods that were too close...

Too close? To the bore?

No too close to each other on the crank. Once they start to get warm and the metal expanded they stuck together and seized the motor.

It's not the rod's fault if the builder doesn't check rod side clearance. I'd be willing to bet they didn't check bearing clearances either. A true motor builder checks those things, and many many more. A parts changer simply bolts everything together and hopes it lasts long enough to get paid.

Well you just called out over half of the diesel performance repair shops and industry! LOL. Slam and go.
