Yes Matt your reading this wrong We work on some GT3Rs and we own LeMans liveried GT3RS ex Racers Group car. And we have rebuilt a number of Supercup engines. PMNA doesnt like privateers to rebuild, and hot rod (wink wink) the engines. We were lucky enough to have a connection that was able to get us replacement connecting rods.. The rods in question didnt "fail" in a catastropic sense, they just dont pass muster to put into service in an engine. The broken crank pics have nothing to do with the rods.. We took that whole broken crank engine and tossed it in the dumpster (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) And when things break on a PMNA or Porsche Motorsports engine... they tell you "vee are sorry but this is racing" there is no quarantee |
