Compstar rods?
I have a buddy of mine that just had a pretty bad engine break on his 434 cid sbc. He had just had it rebuilt with compstar rods and crank.
This car is a pro street 3500 lbs. It never runs over 7000 rpm, he had made a burnout, ( with rev limiter AT 6800) and made a 1/4 mile pass. the 6th one of the day.
right after the 1/8 mile it went. #2 rod came apart, #4 rod got colateral damage from #2
these are the new Compstar forged sbc rods 6" with the arp L9000 bolts.
I have the same product in my short block and don't want to run the engine of this is a known problem. Anybody ever hear of these coming apart?
Thanks
Al
