5e colin Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Doesn't mean it was thrashed, I know of a big powered escort that threw a leg out of bed at low revs at low rpm rod does not come tru block on a 2E 4E THAT WAS REVVED HARD i drove gentle over 40 miles on a knocking bottom end and it didnt come tru the block at 3000rpm Quote
ep82paul Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 That's what I thought how can it break a rod setting of in traffic the rod snapped at the base were it clamps to the crank would of thought that's a strong point of conrod any how just got 5e motor running tonight I'll have to keep boost low as it's a standard 5e any one no max boost it can take safe it's only 5efe motor cheers Quote
