Skip to ~30:40 to see the big end caps being removed.
Is it just me? Or do those rod bearings look like the OEM tin/alu/copper ones? [edit] Yes, I can see the numbers 702 at 31:33 on the top left bearing.
Btw, he said it's done 145k miles, rod bearings (VPC) done at 82k.

I'm amazed the crank broke in 1/2!

Must've been going at full throttle at high revs to do that??
