So blew up my #3 rod. wondering what caused this. lack of oil, due to rpm? poor return? oil pump sucking air?
last time it was #2 rod. I really don't want to live with this again. Motor specs, Dual oil coolers with full flow plumbing 102 bore by 80mm stroke long rods, ham heads and valve train. Running to 6800 rpm g loads to 1.5 windage tray modified at pushrod tubes for oil flow tuna can with 1/2 extra oil Pics of horror below. First are this failure, then old failure. |

I'm amazed at the work that went into this development...while simultaneously clearly understanding why Limited Prep Production is so attractive.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Engineering an EFI system around the stock throttle body suddenly ain't so unimagineable. Thanks Greg. When I was finished with the Level 2 914 (not to say it was fully developed to my idea of its full potential) I became a big fan of level 1 prep! All of this same crazy effort went into redesigning the suspension, the shift linkage, the cockpit, the pedals and on and on. I ended up with a great handling, great shifting and great braking 914, yet after all of that a Spec Miata on the same tires we ran was a bitch to keep up with.
