Very true as I've seen plenty of failed 935 Ti rods,......

Personally, unless the Ti rods were brand new, I would not install them in anything. 935's run well past 8000 RPM making 700+ HP and most used ones can be failure prone.

Remember, the consequences of rod failure in 911's is decidedly NOT inexpensive.
