i wouldnt use those sh1tty rods either at 700whp

 

The Rod's should be good to 900hp (cranck) doesn't matter what percentage lost to the wheels you do it will still be over 700whp. Like every single product out there there's always going to be good and bad experiences with it. Thanks for the input though.. If anything I see the weak link being the block...

 

figured out why the engine messed up in the first place, turns out I had a bent rod so the bottom side of the piston started to hit the crankshaft counter weight.

You think that hose mite have been causing lean condition? Or possibly the crack.

 

No that hose didn't have anything to do, that was just a boost leak neither the turbo manifold. Those just problems that I'm taking care of now..

 

you should make sure the flange that bolts on to the head on the cracked manifold is milled flat. mine wasn't so that's why it cracked.

 

Already took care of the crack. thanks

Hot components ceramic coated.
