Re: What is with Rod Bearings dying?
Well we did replace, the rod that spun the bearing, the others were shotpeened and I assume the builder made sure they were no out of round. The other bearings looked good, not even close to the one that spun. Anyways, at $8000 to rebuild and replace the short block, I might have to find another option than 3SX. Good shop, but prices way to high.
We should probably come up with a list of bearing failures and start to see what we can do to strengthen this area. Like I say I always see the bearings go way before a rod or piston, seems to be the weak link.
