A couple of failures this week.

Rod and main failure. Engine locked up with no warning according to customer. Crankshaft and Engine block were damaged beyond repair. We replaced his engine








Rod bearing failure. This had very minor rod knock that another local shop tried to fix by replacing the bearings with OEM bearings and bolts stating the journals looked fine. After that work the slight knock persisted around 3k rpm so the owner brought it to us. #1 rod bearing spun within 200 miles of being replaced. Aside from that very slight knock at 3k there were no other symptoms of failure.
