Cheap oil, no regular oil changes, no engine warm up.

tell them 50 weight race oil lol 30 synthetick clings oil pumps to top of engine doesnt want to flow back no matter how you port heads oil will cling crank runs dry game over pump slow pump constant keep barrier between bearing and crank water injection is for retards water leaks while engine is stopped hit starter game over retork heads 3 times that kind of pressure and bolts will vibrate loose I think i lost head gasket and you walk up and unscrew head bolt with fingers .. worst thing ive ever heard was I should have bought better bearings Bought Carrillo Rods and use budget chinese Bearings Cleavite 77s aint that expensive molly coated nice lol

Maybe not the best quality AV, but exhalent bullshitless content for the enthusiastic weekend racer on a budget.

can't view much at your 360 resolution

Awesome videos! Thank You for helping out DDE!

Floating pin clearance is tricky on vw aircooled. To tight on the piston and in cold start its putting strain on rod bushing. Too loose and its sloppy after warmed up. Too tight you get to rebush the rods. Better free float in piston lightly oiled. That's my take on it. Good video for understanding rod loading. Thanks.

Could a low rpm, around 3500, 200hp nitrous setup explosion, cause multiple pistons to slap?

👏👏

First thing I look for is where the hole in the pan is.

Just gave you guys a call and was helped by Tony. Thank you again

Hi

Nice presentation. I can't quite understand why there is loading around the studs on the power stroke. I would have thought the power stroke would have the most loading around the top third of the rod journal. I understand the bolt flange area (studs specifically) to have the highest forces on the intake stroke. Does the mating area experience high loads due to stretching of the bolts and then slamming closed on the power stroke?

Hello Thanks for great information. What is a email address to contact you guys?

That was a great video. pre ignition- ponging, lean mixture, valve timing, ring gap to tight. I bought a basket case motorcycle. The top of the piston broke off at the rings. After former owner installed a new carburetor, and timed it. Looks like lean mixture, and pre ignition. Thanks for the info. keep up the good work

very usefull but for non custom engines is not worth it.. they surely do not have the capacity to make rods better than OEM

Does polishing the cap and rod beam sides, and pin end of a stock Windsor 5.965 rod improve it's durability? Reducing areas of phitegue?!!

I can't find info on these. What size is the rod bolt?

Looks like mine Diamond pistons and Molnar rods for my 5.4 gt500

That makes no sense at all. Just design a piston that works!!!

A very good video with extremely rare and very useful information but it's a real shame it's in 360p (and occasionally it looks even worse than 144p!) which loses a lot of the details especially on the damaged components and screen graphics. You're giving us real good stuff so I would strongly advise you to re-do this video with a better camera.

That piston with two holes in it, sure could have had a couple of dropped valves, but it could have also been a victim of pre-ignition. That will destroy a piston instantly, and blow a hole through it very easily.

What kind of damage in a brand new GM Yukon can happen in in my engine, the rod broke??

Awe man that ring gap you showed with the gapped rings looked rough, lol.

Rod bolt failure valve springs are a must change.

Steve Morris got me here by saying he used your rods and hitting subscribe was an easy choice after this great video

Smaller pin? Does that mean its more likely to fail there?

I would like to volunteer to be your content creator! The information is great but the production quality is abysmal! Will work for pistons/rods!

Crazy

I have a 212cc predator go kart engine.. with a stage 1 kit (bigger air intake, bigger jet, and straight pipe exhaust) with the governor bypassed.. rode it hard for the last 6 months and it finally blew up the other day..it blow a hole through the block..I looked down inside the hole and noticed that the connect rod was gone...what do you think actually happened? If I buy another engine and bypass the governor, what do you think I need to do so this doesn't happen again???

Hi...we had a problem where piston torned up in pieces. During opening its found long crack on skirt axis...but we dont know what caused it...it happened within 10 minutes of testing? What do you think could be cause...the pistkns breaks just like u have it on your table in tjis video..

Great presentations thank you also thank you for offering help for information

SBC 406 PISTONS BUSTED THE EDGE OF THE PISTONS 6 OUT OF 8 AND THE PC THAT BROKE OFF BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF THE AFR ALUM HEADS

Great information 👍

Dassault Systèmes Catia... my next rods will be Carrillo rods 😎

wow this is cool

Nice, but too bad about the focus.

Great information thanks for sharing

Can I reuse my OE rodbolts? Just rebuilding my daily driver (KA24E)

So that why my #4 connecting rod on my N/A engine disintegrated when I put a turbocharger on it, it lasted 5 days at 6-8 psi and was fun as hell until it blew up

Please, adjust your quality video to 720p or full hd 1080p

How does this affect bearing clearance and is it ok to just drill thru bearings to provide oil passages?

Like different rods my thoughts turn to bearings. With high-silicone content aluminum found in Tri-Metal bearings now the rage, I like the steel shell Bi-Metal babbitt last longer. To me this helps the rod without internal deformation before the rod see it. In other words, spreading the load evenly from the crank into the bearing, but equally transferring the load into the rod. I feel this actually make the rod last longer before distortion occurs causing rod failure. Thoughts? This discussion came up a few time with mostly V8 engine builders.

Pity the video quality is so bad

Hey can someone help me? i have read on the internet that high boost at low rpm's can bend connecting rods is that true? does high boost alone bends the rods or the because of the detonation that takes place due to high boos?

you are some kind of teacher not only professionals

Key question how long are your rods good for it's how big your pocketbook

Who the hell is running that camera ,an infant with parkinson's disease ,and blind . otherwise great vid .that guy couldn't spell camera .

I,m sure glad your products are better than the Camera you used in making this Video

How can I contact you guys
