Didnt want to hijack the 45 VAC thread, so let me ask this,in a racing or testing session, I and we have all broken aluminum bushed rods, anyone ever figure out why sometimes (bottom of the rod) the bottom breaks out, or the top half of the bottom, or like today, split right up the middle ?
Then of course we have the top of the rod, wrist pin lack of lube, over temp, or snap clean off below the wrist pin.
So yes lubrication in number one, also fuel, cooling, low oil content or over reving, but more interested in the location of the break.
Any thoughts ? (yes Joe W, I know your answer, 45VAC)
I have plenty of pics of each break, steel rods too..
