Nasty....

thems the breaks:cry

nice display item for the Nationals

Lucky it was just VW parts, and not even MORE expensive aftermarket stuff.
I had a couple of failures like that before upgrading to some strong rods and Pistons.
Make sure you get good gudgeon pins too.

Cold failure of a rod like that(and Mahle piston and pin) is common at about 300 FW HP.
Especially if the rod has had an "experience" in its past.

Dave what a blow up
If your gonna do it,
Do it in style !!!
You got enough busted bits the for a whole trophy cabinet!!!



I'm sorry for your loss

Matt

ouch!!.........

hate seeing those sort of pictures:puke

Damm, brings a tear to my eye.

Hence why Troy bit the bullet and bought some carillo rods and new barrels and CP pistons. Not worth the risk.
