[s-cars] Rods and high HP: Oil Issue??

[Mihnea Cotet]

Having seen that happen on a friend's car too, I'd too say the same thing, 
or maybe not a long enough break-in period?

Anyway, when the rod's limits is reached, they simply bend and break with 
no damage to the bearings, saw that happen a few times too, hopefully not 
on cars that I had tuned :-)

HTH,

Mihnea
